North East Businesses Raise Vital Funds For Marie Curie

Issue 25

Marie Curie has held its first ever Out of Office Challenge with businesses right across the region taking part to raise awareness and money for the charity.

Teams from several North East companies took on challenges to win points, finding ‘wish list’ items for Marie Curie’s hospice and patients, acquiring new stock for Marie Curie shops and finding weird and wonderful raffle prizes as part of the challenge.

St Martins Care, DWF Law, Ryder Architecture, Ryecroft Glenton, Procter and Gamble and a team from the Marie Curie Hospice all took part, with St Martins Care winning the challenge on the day. Before the final count, Marie Curie had raised over £3,000 and have over £2,000 worth of prizes and donations.

Katie Searles, Partnerships Manager at Marie Curie said: “The response from North East businesses was overwhelming and we wanted to express our gratitude to everyone who supported the teams for their kind support and generosity.”
