Cumbrian- headquartered housebuilder Story Homes has raised £12,600 for Cancer Research UK.
Staff at Story Homes selected the organisation as their charity partner for the 2022/23 financial year.
Staff across the business – which has regional offices in Carlisle, Newcastle and Chorley – carried out various fundraising activities to raise money for the charity, ranging from golf days and bake sales, to raffles and dress down days.
Nicky McKenna, the charity’s relationship manager for North East England and Cumbria, said: “Story Homes is helping to accelerate the progress of Cancer Research UK, to make new, life-saving discoveries. These discoveries will benefit our partners, children, friends and colleagues. The staggering £12,600 raised by Story Homes, over the last year, will help to create a world, where we can live longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer.
Story Homes said it will continue to support the charity for another 12 months, dedicating colleague and company fundraising to the national organisation until March 2024.
Hayley Blair, sales and group marketing director at Story Homes, said: “Cancer is a cause that’s close to many of our hearts as one in two of us will get cancer in our lifetime; but by supporting Cancer Research UK, the funds that we have raised will help it to carry out our pioneering research to help beat cancer.
“Over the past 12 months we have made great progress in raising awareness of this awful disease and understanding the impact it has on people’s lives; we are therefore delighted to be continuing our partnership with Cancer Research UK for another 12 months.”
