Blemain Group staff have so far raised £6,500 this year for the Many Hands campaign in support of Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital charity.
Employees hosted a variety of fundraising activities at its offices in Charles Street and donations were also collected at The Trafford Centre with the help of Humphrey, the mascot for Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.
With ‘Be Seen in Green’ the motto of the day, staff paid to dress down in green and different departments competed to raise the most money with other activities. Bake sales, chilli-eating contests and record-breaking attempts saw the staff raise almost £3,000 on the day.
The fund raising day was part of an on-going initiative of Blemain Group’s Supporting the Community Committee, helping organisations across the North West. Its efforts have contributed vital funds to the ManyHands campaign, which brings together the business community to raise money and awareness for sick children at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.
Irene Thomas, chair of the supporting the community committee, said: “We have been overwhelmed with the contributions that all the staff have made to this great cause. Everyone was enthusiastically involved and did their bit to raise money for the hospital.””
