Warden has raised over £3,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support through various fundraising activities across 2025.
Macmillan was selected as our charity of the year, following the support it provided to our colleague Geoff during his battle with cancer. He is now back at work full-time after overcoming his illness following treatment.
Throughout the year, employees engaged in various initiatives that saw them take on challenges, host events and find new ways to support the essential services the charity provides.
Site manager Tom Davies completed the National Three Peaks Challenge across England, Scotland and Wales. He was later joined by HSEQ advisor Beth Elder for a 47-mile trek through the Peak District, completed within 24 hours.
Beth also took part in the AJ Bell Great Manchester Half Marathon alongside Tony Quinn, procurement manager, and Dan Culshaw, finance director, raising additional funds in the process.
Employees also hosted several events throughout the year, including a Macmillan Coffee Morning, a Bonfire Luncheon, and a Christmas Jumper Day.
Collectively, the team raised £3,127 for Macmillan Cancer Support. The funds will help the charity continue its vital work providing emotional, practical and financial assistance to people living with cancer and their families.
Ian Williams, managing director, said: “The support Macmillan provided for Geoff during his treatment meant a great deal to everyone here, we are proud to stand behind a charity that made such a difference to one of our own.
“From those who took on physical challenges to everyone who baked, brewed coffee, wore a Christmas jumper or simply put a few pounds in a collection tin, it has been a genuine group effort, and we couldn’t be prouder of our team.”
Michelle Davis, Macmillan centre deputy manager, said: “We would like to thank Warden for choosing us to be its Charity of the Year, and for the generous donations. Meeting the team at our centre was a highlight, and their engagement this year shows a genuine dedication to helping us support people living with cancer.
“Our centre at Royal Preston Hospital, like all Macmillan Information and Support Service centres nationwide, provides practical, emotional, financial and psychological support to those affected by cancer. We can continue this work thanks to the generosity of our fundraisers, whose support will make a lasting difference for local patients. Thank you, team Warden, for your wonderful support.”
