PJH has set itself a new fundraising target of £15,000 in its continued partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support.

Progress towards this total is already well underway fuelled by the success of the previous campaign which saw PJH exceed its original target of £10,000 thanks to the dedication and enthusiasm of its staff across the UK. 

The PJH fundraising programme continues to thrive through a variety of initiatives led by employees up and down the country. Recent achievements include a Coast-to-Coast cycle challenge completed by Nicola Price, Depot Manager at PJH’s Thirsk site, and John Travis, Solutions Delivery Manager at PJH’s Bolton site. The pair cycled 127 miles from Workington, in the Lake District, to Sunderland, in Tyne & Wear; raising a £1000.

Meanwhile, Stephen Lloyd, Warehouse Supervisor at PJH’s Cannock site, took on the Ultra White-Collar Boxing (UWCB) challenge in Wolverhampton. As a complete novice, Lloyd completed eight weeks of intensive training, and then took to the boxing ring, raising over £400.

In addition, employees have hosted numerous events, including bake sales, Fantasy Football leagues, Strictly Come Dancing sweepstakes, and festive celebrations, such as Christmas jumper days. The annual Macmillan Coffee Morning has also played a significant role, with staff across all sites contributing home-baked treats, raising significant funds while strengthening the company’s sense of community.

As a result, PJH has already raised over 33% of this new £15,000 goal. The company also promises to match every £1 raised by colleagues, up to a value of £10,000. 

Reflecting on the fundraising activities, Kim Cooper, PJH’s Head of Marketing & Product, shared her pride in the company’s efforts: “We’re thrilled with the success of our on-going partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support and the incredible response from our colleagues.

"Macmillan’s work is vital to so many individuals and families, and we’re honoured to contribute. With a target of £15,000, we’re eager to build on our achievements and make an even greater difference.”
