Staff at Mint Property Finance have worked together to support NHS Blood and Organ Transplant.

The Altrincham-based lender hosts monthly fundraising initiatives for causes close to the team’s heart.

This month the team decided to donate more than just funds with representatives from across the business volunteering to donate blood for NHS Blood and Organ Transplant.

The initiative was spearheaded by sales & marketing manager, Stephen Cunningham (pictured), who has personally supported the organisation over the last three years.

He said: “For those that can, donating blood is one of the most rewarding and easy ways to make a difference.

“I first donated a couple of years ago, just before the pandemic broke, and found it a very gratifying experience.  You get a text to follow your appointment stating where your blood is being sent, with mine immediately going to Manchester Royal Infirmary. I donated again in 2021 when I saw that more blood was needed.  As I have B+ blood, one of the rarer types and accounting for just 8% of donors, it’s even more important to me to do what I can to support.

“I’ve made a personal commitment to donate blood annually and was pleased to be joined by members of the Mint Property Finance team in doing so this year.”

Further charitable organisations supported by Mint Property Finance this year include Alzheimer’s Society, Ronald McDonald House Charity, and Warrington Youth Club.

NHS Blood and Organ Transplant has 25 permanent donor centres across the UK, underpinned by temporary community run donation centres. Those interested in donating can register at www.blood.co.uk.
