Fundraising efforts adds new bricks to virtual maggies

Colleagues from around the business have been busy running, walking, cycling, baking, and hosting a golf day to fundraise for Maggie's Cancer Care Centres.

After reaching our original £1m for Maggie's target in May 2022, we set ourselves a goal of funding 100,000 hours of support for Maggie’s centre visitors, which equates to £1m in cash.

To help track our progress, we are building a virtual Maggie’s in the shape of the charity's logo. Our interactive Maggie's is made up of bricks representing the number of hours of support our collective fundraising efforts would pay for.

Examples of bricks include:

£5,000 will pay for 100 hours of a Getting Started course with a support specialist for those about to embark on cancer treatment.

£15,000 will pay for 1,200 hours of family day sessions, where kids can get together with others to come to terms with mum or dad having cancer.

Every fundraising activity goes towards adding another brick into the virtual Maggie's.
