Supporting Macmillan at Riverside

At Riverside, we’re committed to giving back to the community and supporting causes close to our hearts. One of those is Macmillan Cancer Support.

Like millions of people in the UK and around the world, the team at Riverside has experienced the devastating effect cancer can have on individuals and those around them, with many of our team members having family members, friends or loved ones who have been diagnosed with cancer.

That’s why we have made it our mission to support Macmillan in every way possible, by hosting coffee mornings and other fundraising events in order to raise money to donate to the charity.

Why Support Macmillan?

There are over three million people in the UK living with cancer. A terrifying 1 in 2 people are at risk of being diagnosed with some form of cancer in their lifetime, and Macmillan do everything in their power to help as many of those people as possible.

Macmillan works tirelessly to provide vital support to those affected by cancer, from specialist nurses to financial support and emotional support, over the phone, in-person or online.

Every pound raised can help make a real difference to the lives of those affected by cancer, which is why we’re committed to supporting Macmillan in any way we can.

What We’re Doing to Support Macmillan

One of the ways we raise money for Macmillan is through hosting coffee mornings. We make sure there are plenty of treats on offer, from homemade cakes to everyone’s favourite biscuits, and we always have a collection tin on hand for donations.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the amazing support of our staff, who give up their time to help organise and run these events and spend time baking (or nipping to the shop for our less skilled bakers!) We’re lucky to have a team who are committed to making a difference, and who are always willing to go the extra mile to support a good cause.

At Riverside, we will work hard to continue to support Macmillan in any way possible, and hope to inspire other organisations to do the same.
