MACMILLAN MARCH

We have now wrapped up Macmillan March and we saw some fantastic fundraising efforts with team members giving it their all to raise vital funds for the Macmillan Support Line.

You can see here just how important your fundraising is to our Macmillan professionals and get an idea of exactly where your donations go.

During March, Peter Hurry, Bottling Operative at Hen Hall, created some bird houses made from scrap wood gathered with the idea to support the local wildlife and raise money for Macmillan at the same time by asking for donations. Macmillan is very close to Peter’s heart after he sadly lost his father at the age of 51 to lung cancer. With the knowledge that birds in the UK are on a decline he wanted to make some bird boxes in the hope that this will help support the growth of birds in the UK. Peter also hates to see anything go to waste and has completed numerous upcycling projects over the years. Peter has raised over £200 with this total set to increase!

Ben Winser organised a charity football tournament and raffle in Bury St Edmunds raising a fantastic £1,500 for Macmillan and Susan Chisholm and the Quality team held a quiz night where they raised £225. Fantastic efforts well done to you all.

Shout out to Matt Steward, Head of People for completing the London Marathon for the second consecutive year! It's not too late to donate, if you would like to donate please click HERE

In 2024, we raised a phenomenal £123,931 which was a 23% increase on our ambition and a 38% increase in what we raised in 2023.

Our B&B fundraising ambition for this year is £125,000 so please do keep sharing ideas with your Macmillan representative and keep supporting, and donating where you can. Fiona Martin and Alice Farnsworth are coordinating our B&B Macmillan efforts for this year so any questions or queries can be directed to them.
