To further enhance our commitment to supporting the charity sector, we launched our Raise for Good initiative at the beginning of 2022. Employees are encouraged to nominate their favourite charity to receive fundraising support throughout the year. All nominated charities are then put to a vote to decide which organisation the company as a whole will support for 12 months.
This year we are delighted to be supporting Ukraine Charity. Ukraine Charity was set up in 2007 by four friends, raising money for children in Ukraine, whether that be orphanages, children with disabilities, hospices etc. In the founder’s words, “until recently we were very small and modest”. As a result of the situation in Ukraine, funds this year are being put to humanitarian issues. They have seen a significant increase in donations, and are using funds to purchase medical equipment to support those who are injured, they have been able to purchase several ambulance cars and some of the orphanages they support are being used as refugee centres which they are continuing to support to name a few things they are doing.
Our first fundraising event of the year was a virtual walk of the UK and Irish Coastlines, covering a total distance of 8,467km within 2 months. Our m-hance team dug deep and smashed the target, raising a fantastic amount for Ukraine Charity. The fundraising continues.
