Peugeot’s UK arm today announced that its staff has managed to raise GBP20,000 for charity. Introducing multiple initiatives, the company’s employees raised the aforementioned sum, with GBP12,000 going to Macmillian Cancer Support and GBP8,000 going to the Myton Hospice.
The cheques for the aforementioned donations have already been handed over by Peugeot UK Managing Director, Jonathon Goodman, pictured second from right, and product & pricing manager, Steven Fahnley, with Hannah Morris and Sarah Darby receiving the funds on behalf of Myton Hospice and Macmillan respectively.
“At Peugeot we try to play our part in the local community by raising funds for local charities each year. We are always impressed by the response from our staff who so willingly give their time, effort and money for these causes and I’m delighted to donate £20,000 on their behalf,” said Mr Goodman.
“Peugeot employees have been incredibly enthusiastic in their fundraising efforts and have also supported us in a volunteering capacity,” said Sarah Darby, Fundraising Manager, Macmillan Cancer Support. "One in three people will receive a cancer diagnosis and as treatments improve, more and more people are living with cancer in their daily lives. This means they need more than medical help, they also need practical, emotional and financial support. The money that Peugeot has raised will make a real difference to people affected by cancer.”
The funds were raised with serious efforts, as a group of peugeot staff run the Coventry half marathon and the Great North Run. In addition to that, Pinley House held a raffle and fund raising day a coffee morning, a quiz, an auction night and a special Christmas draw, offering the rest of the employees a chance to donate.
