Backing charity Churchill Retirement Living is pleased to announce another successful year fundraising for its corporate charity – Macmillan Cancer Support - raising almost £70,000, which is a fantastic achievement for such a worthy cause. This is the sixth year that the Retirement Lifestyle specialist has supported Macmillan as its nominated charity, and involves individual staff members as well as corporate contributions. The company is aiming to beat that target this year, starting with the now famous and very successful ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’. Across the country, every Churchill Retirement Living development has pledged to donate £5 for every visitor attending the Macmillan coffee mornings they are holding. Details and terms and conditions can be found on their website www.churchillretirement.co.uk
