In April 2024, our colleagues voted for a charity to become our national partner, and we’re proud to announce our partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support, marking the beginning of a meaningful three-year collaboration.
To kick off the partnership, we hosted an event where Macmillan representatives shared powerful insights into their mission, programmes, and the vital support they provide to individuals and families facing cancer. This inspiring event sparked a wave of initiatives across the Group, with employees going above and beyond to raise funds and awareness with projects ranging from coffee mornings to volunteering.
One of our dedicated site managers took on the incredible challenge of cycling nearly 1,000km between all our sites. Over 49 hours, he covered 630 miles, climbed over 27,600 feet, and raised more than £2,000 for the charity. Our Procurement team got together to tackle the Mighty Hike Challenge, raising over £14,500 with a gruelling 26-mile hike across the Jurassic Coast.
Compleat was also honoured to be the lead sponsor for the Market Drayton 10k in 2024, with 14 colleagues also taking part in the run. As one of the Midlands’ largest 10k races, with up to 2,000 runners each year, this event was a fantastic opportunity to unite the local community and support an important cause.
Macmillan is a fantastic charity that in recent years I have a personal connection with based on the amazing support provided for my close family through a challenging period. It means a lot that Compleat and the Procurement team continue with their fantastic support for Macmillan.
