Charity: £12m raised for Macmillan

Making a REAL difference with your help

Greene King is celebrating its 10th anniversary of its partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support.

10 years of supporting Macmillan £12m raised so far

ITALIAN LAKES RIDE

As we were going to press, a team of Greene King colleagues was gearing up to head to Italy to tackle the Great Italian Lakes Challenge, a gruelling four-day cycle ride between two iconic cities: Venice and Milan.

The trip includes some serious climbs with the riders reaching heights of 754m at points and cycling up to 96 miles a day.

All riders raised sponsorship, with the money going directly to Macmillan Cancer Support. This year sees Greene King mark the 10th anniversary of its partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support and, in celebration, all Greene King pubs are being asked to help raise funds this month for its national charity partner.

Macmillan Cancer Support helps people with every aspect of living with cancer, including practical, financial and emotional support.

Astonishingly, since 2012 Greene King and its customers have raised a staggering £12m for Macmillan!

This month all Greene King pubs have been challenged to ‘Go Big for Macmillan’ with fundraising and celebration events.

£2.2m raised in 2021

And while fundraising eff orts are being redoubled this month, Greene King pubs, colleagues and customers have already been busy raising much-needed money this year by organising everything from annual fundraisers, shaved heads, bike rides, marathons, challenges, sky dives, pub fun days and coff ee mornings.

Nick Mackenzie, Chief Executive Offi cer at Greene King, said: “We are so incredibly proud to be celebrating a milestone 10 years of partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support. Over the past decade, we’ve raised an astonishing £12m in donations for Macmillan, and couldn’t have done this without the support of our generous customers.

“The energy and creativity our teams put into fundraising is phenomenal, from annual fundraisers, shaved heads, bike rides, marathons, challenges, pub fun days and coff ee mornings, we know the team enjoy it – as do our customers.”

Lynda Thomas CBE, Chief Executive at Macmillan Cancer Support, added: “We are thrilled to be celebrating 10 years of partnership with Greene King. Its colleagues and customers have amazed us over the years with their incredible fundraising eff orts and it is phenomenal that they have raised a staggering £12m for Macmillan. “We rely almost entirely on donations from the public and without generosity from partners such as Greene King, we wouldn’t be able to continue to do whatever it takes to ensure people living with cancer get the care they need, when they need it the most.”

COFFEE MORNING OPPORTUNITY

Hosting a Macmillan coff ee morning is a fantastic way to welcome customers into your venue earlier in the day and introduce them to everything you have to off er as a place to gather, work or simply enjoy some relaxed time over a hot drink, all while helping to support people living with cancer. To take part, simply head to coff ee.macmillan.org.uk to sign up and receive your free support kit which includes everything you need to host a successful event: invitations, posters, a how to guide and a host of decorations to make your venue look the part.

WE’RE HERE TO HELP

Greene King’s tailored financial support packages could be just what you need to grow your business and take advantage of fresh opportunities.

REUBEN McCOY

COMMERCIAL MANAGER, GREENE KING

We know how tough the last few years have been for the trade but we also want you to know that we are here to help.

Whether you need some investment to take advantage of a fresh opportunity you may have identified or whether you simply need support to maintain your business through the challenging times that the trade is currently facing, Greene King is there for you.

The Prime Minister’s recent announcement on the capping of energy bills for businesses is, of course, very welcome – but we also appreciate that pubs, clubs, restaurants and other hospitality venues still face an uncertain future.

Greene King is able to offer tailored financial support packages from small sums of up to £10,000 all the way up to major financial investments of £100,000 or more.

We have already supported dozens of businesses and have helped them achieve their specific aims with the right investment at the right time. We could help you too by swiftly arranging a support package that suits your needs.

We can arrange support packages of up to £10,000 in a matter of days. That sort of timely financial boost can be the difference between having a good festive period and having a fantastic one.

Similarly, as the leaner months at the start of 2023 approach, we are able to help you navigate your way through and build a solid platform for the longer term.

We all want a flourishing pub hospitality trade in the UK and Greene King is committed to helping support and maintain that trade. It’s in everyone’s interest that we continue to capitalise on the recovery of the sector and encourage more people to come out more often and visit pubs.

If you think your business could benefit from the right investment, get in touch with your Sales Development Manager who will be able to outline the options available.
