We’re excited to announce the successful completion of our collaboration with the Adult Polyglucosan Body Disease (APBD) Research Foundation, initiated through our pro bono call for rare disease organisations. Together, we’ve developed tools and united stakeholders to empower the community affected by early- and late-onset glycogen storage disease type IV (GSD IV), known as Andersen and adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD), respectively. Through this free-of-charge partnership, we facilitated two multi-stakeholder workshops, enhancing communication tactics to unite the GSD IV community and improve research and treatment opportunities. A big thank you to Natacha T. Pires, Rebecca Reef, Jeff Levenson, Anesa Kajtazovic, Jim Meier, and all APBD and GSD IV participants for their invaluable support. We look forward to what the Foundation will achieve next! Are you a non-profit organisation or charity?

I'm pleased to share what is hopefully a helpful summary of NICE's proposed updates, as well some thoughts on these, in the below article: https://lnkd.in/eyuu-4J8

At Costello Medical, we are deeply committed to pro bono work and proudly advocate alongside organisations like Passion Partnership CIC for more companies to participate.

As we reach the end of #BCorpMonth, we’re looking back at our highlight: the event we hosted in collaboration with Executive Education at Cambridge Judge Business School and Conscious Communications. We were thrilled to have Professor Christopher Marquis deliver an enlightening keynote speech on regenerative business, filled with examples of businesses applying innovative solutions to deliver impressive sustainability benefits. During the panel Sophie Costello, Alison Taylor from Concious Communications and Rebecca Ryder from Cambridge Commodities addressed questions from Professor Chris Marquis and an engaged audience. We’re grateful to Tom Ebbutt from B Lab UK for his insightful closing remarks. The positive discussions continued during the networking drinks, and we’re looking forward to seeing how these will advance the B Corp movement in Cambridgeshire. #Bcorp #ForceForGood #EthicalBusiness
