Carbon Zero Heroes – Solar Panel Fundraising Project 2 Between 2020-2021, Canon Medical UK have been working closely with carbon offsetting partner CO2balance, to raise funds for a remote hospital in Uganda for solar panels, which will provide essential electricity for lighting, powering fridges to store vaccines in and more. The employees of CMSUK came together in a series of fundraising events to reach this goal – from one Regional Service Manager cycling over 200 miles from dawn to dusk, to bake sales, raffles and beyond. With the success of hitting this target, a second solar panel fundraising project has begun. Individuals have already started to support this incredible cause, with an ‘at home pub quiz’, world car free day, recycling week and lots of green initiatives.
