In July, we held our first-ever Auction of Promises to raise over £2,000, helping us to reach the halfway milestone in our plan to raise £10,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
We auctioned off donations from our employees ranging from handmade jewellery and illustrations to home-grown plants, professional coaching and personal training sessions, as well as hotel stays and train tickets donated by our partners.
“The auction not only gave us a bit of fun and brought out our competitive side bidding, but also showcased some of the talented individuals we have in our teams. This is just the latest step in our fundraising journey and it’s fantastic to have reached 50% of our target already”.
Kirsty Given, our Director of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability
