Donaldson announces Maggie’s charity partnership
16 July 2019James Donaldson & Sons has announced today its charity partnership with Maggie’s, which is due to span over the next 12 to 18 months.
The firm has pledged to match funds up to £25,000, raised by employees across their 30 sites UK wide, setting an ambitious goal of raising a total of £50,000. The group will be working closely with Maggie’s to develop a calendar of fund-raising events and activities nationwide to engage with over 800 employees.
Maggie’s is a charity offering free practical and emotional support for people with cancer and their family and friends through support centres built in the grounds of NHS hospitals. Maggie’s relies on voluntary donations to support and grow its network of Centres and to develop its unique, high-quality programme of support.
“Every year we support charitable causes at both site and business level, but we were keen to put our weight behind one charity that would be meaningful to us all,” said Scott Cairns, group managing director at James Donaldson & Sons. “Maggie’s initial network of centres marries in well with our own locations. This makes our support of the charity local to our businesses ‘nationwide’, while supporting the local community as Maggie’s supports us.
“We look forward to working closely with Maggie’s over the coming months; we are encouraging our employees to get involved in supporting this fantastic cause wherever they can.”
