21st - 28th June marked Myeloma UK awareness week and this was just one of the reasons that we chose it as our June charity of the month. It's a cause close to some of our staff's hearts and this definitely drove this months campaign onwards.
Throughout June we've had lots of activities to raise awareness and money. Staff have been given the chance to dress down every Friday in exchange for a donation, we've had a bake sale, an egg and spoon race (which drew out some competitive streaks that are usually under wraps!), a pub quiz and our grand raffle too.
It's been a lot of fun but most importantly this month has definitely heightened awareness of the disease, not least in our offices.
We were overwhelmed by the generous donations for our raffle which varied from beauty treatments to a car valet. Our lucky winners are in for a treat. We are hugely grateful to all of the local businesses who donated for such a worthy cause, as well as to our staff who've baked, run and worn their jeans into work for a small price.
This month we are delighted to have been able to raise awareness for a very worthy cause and to have raised a tidy sum of £600! We're very happy with this and would like to say thanks again to everyone involved.
