IPAF's (International Powered Access Federation) cancer charity trust - PAINT - has raised more than £10,000 for cancer research since its launch last year.
The Powered Access Industry Trust (PAINT) was set up in partnership with Weston Park Cancer Charity to raise money to fund research at the Weston Park Cancer Clinical Trials Centre in Sheffield, which runs clinical trials that give patients access to new cancer treatments.

IPAF members can take part by nominating a machine in their fleet as a 'PAINT machine' and donating a proportion of its rental income each time it is hired. Companies can also contribute from other revenue, such as training income, or make a direct donation.
The scheme was founded by IPAF Rental+ manager Martin Wraith, who said: "Reaching £10,000 is a fantastic achievement and a real reflection of the generosity of our members. PAINT was created to give our industry an opportunity to come together and support cancer research, and it is fantastic to see members embracing the initiative.”
Bekah Anstey, corporate partnership manager at Weston Park Cancer Charity, added: "Reaching the £10,000 milestone is a phenomenal achievement! Thank you to everyone who has got behind the PAINT Scheme and helped make this possible. Every contribution makes a huge difference, helping Weston Park Cancer Charity fund vital research and clinical trials that can improve treatment and outcomes for patients. We're hugely grateful to IPAF and every member taking part, and we hope this £10,000 milestone is just the beginning. We're excited to see how much more we can achieve together."
IPAF said it wants more companies across the access industry to take part in the scheme and for further information go to: http://ipafpaint.raiselysite.com
