Comfomatic springs into action for Macmillan Electric Mobility supports BLESMA parade for 15th year Supporting the British Limbless Ex-Service Men’s Association (BLESMA), Electric Mobility provided its Rascal 388 deluxe mobility scooters to help ensure limbless veterans were able to take part in the 100th anniversary Cenotaph Parade in London on Remembrance Sunday. Dedicating his own time, Dave Pierce, Electric Mobility’s Warehouse Manager, coordinated providing 20 mobility scooters as part of the partnership with BLESMA, the only national Armed Forces Charity that supports limbless veterans who have lost limbs or lost the use of limbs or eyes for the duration of their lives.
Adjustable bed specialist Comfomatic has hit the £100,000 fundraising mark for Macmillan Cancer Support, providing much needed support to people with cancer and their families. With its director, a recently retired district nursing sister who worked closely with the Macmillan nursing team, seeing first-hand the tremendous work they do, the company decided to start donating to the charity two years ago. In recognition of the £100,000 achievement, the Comfomatic team have invited Macmillan’s Corporate Fundraising Manager, Megan Kong, to join them at a celebration in their call centre. Comfomatic confirmed that it has now set its sights on reaching a landmark target of £250,000.
The company’s 15th year working with the Association, the day saw some 40 BLESMA members participate along with 10,000 others, marching to remember those lost in the First World War. Elaine Leighton, Marketing & Communications Manager for Electric Mobility, commented: “We are strongly committed to supporting this great veteran charity and will continue to provide mobility scooters to give the veterans the opportunity to fully take part in the parade to pay their respects to those that are lost but not forgotten.”
