arc exams firmly believes in the power of giving back and making a positive contribution wherever possible. Starting today, and for the remainder of this academic year, we will be donating a portion of our entry fees to a charitable cause close to our hearts. £1 will be donated for every paid GCSE, IGCSE or O Level entry and £2 for every paid A/AS Level entry, made with us.
Our commitment to making a difference extends beyond hosting examinations alone. We recognise the importance of corporate social responsibility, and we want our customers to know that when they choose to sit their exams with us, they are choosing to be a part of something bigger.
Our chosen charitable cause this year is The Azaylia Foundation, nominated by our Business Director, Lee Hitchen, who is a personal friend of the founders.
The Azaylia Foundation was established by Ashley Cain and Safiyya Vorajee after losing their 8-month old “little lion” Azaylia Diamond Cain to AML (acute myeloid leukaemia) in April 2021. During her fight against cancer, Azaylia lit up the world with her beautiful smile, bravery and perseverance, giving people everywhere hope and inspiration.
The foundation was created to fight childhood cancer. It is committed to advancing early diagnosis and new treatment availability in the UK through institutional donations, while at the same time supporting UK-based children fighting cancer with individual treatment donations, when treatments required are not funded by the NHS.
Ashley has undertaken a number of arduous challenges to raise awareness of the foundation and in doing so has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds in donations. These challenges have pushed him to the very limit, both physically and mentally. He has run non-stop from Nuneaton to London, cycled from London to Rome, summitted the National Three Peaks whilst cycling between each of them. Most recently Ashley took on, in his own words, his toughest challenge to date, kayaking 1,000 miles along the Yukon river, unsupported, in eight just eight days.
The foundation is carrying out amazing work, often under the radar, to support those children unfortunate enough to suffer from this terrible disease. Thank you for choosing arc exams. Your valued custom means the world to us and by entrusting us with your exam requirements, we’ll be able to do our bit to help those less fortunate than ourselves.
Please take a moment to visit The Azaylia Foundation website and view the incredible work they are undertaking, hoping to eradicate childhood cancer forever. If you are able to make a personal donation too, via their website, we are sure they would very much appreciate it.
With heartfelt gratitude, All of us at arc exams
