This September, we proudly partnered with Macmillan, as our chosen charity for the next 18 months! Thanks to the incredible generosity and enthusiasm of our colleagues and customers, it has been a huge success!
Last year we hosted a raffle for our 60th event and in December on Christmas jumper day we sold cakes and pasties, all with the common goal of bringing everyone together to raise as much awareness and money as possible. It was clear that pasty sales quickly became firm favourites, with colleagues and customers getting involved, donating, and spreading the word. But these moments weren’t just about raising money, but about starting conversations, sharing stories, and supporting one another.
Together in just 3 months, we have raised over £600 for this amazing cause. Every pound raised has gone towards providing support and care for those who need it most. To put this into perspective, the money raised so far has helped fund around 28 hours of Macmillan Support Line calls. That means people affected by cancer can speak to trained professionals for advice, emotional support, or guidance during some of the toughest moments of their lives.
It is easy to underestimate the impact of your donations, but when everyone comes together, it’s great to see a real and tangible result! We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who contributed, whether you donated or even just spoke to a friend about some of the symptoms of cancer, you have made a real difference.
