[Urban Eat and Teenage Cancer Trust](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-urban-eat-festive-range) have announced a partnership in the UK that will see the sandwich brand working with the charity to donate funds to a good cause this festive season.

The partnership will see the Urban Eat Festive range featuring the Teenage Cancer Trust logo to communicate to consumers that each sandwich sold will see [10p donated to the cause](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asda-you-buy-we-donate). This will help to fund the charity's team of specialist nurses, youth workers and hospital units that support young people aged 13 to 24 who have been diagnosed with cancer.

Head of Customer Marketing at Samworh Brothers Food For Now Wayne Greensmith spoke on the Urban Eat and Teenage Cancer Trust partnership saying, "This Christmas, we wanted our [festive range](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-sandwich) to do more than just taste great. Consumers are looking for those little moments of joy that bring warmth, comfort and connection, and this year we’re proud to deliver a range that aims to do just that. The return of our much-loved festive favourites will not only delight sandwich fans nationwide, but also fund the vital work of Teenage Cancer Trust.”
