Macmillan Cancer Support’s Post

We’ve been working in partnership with Card Factory for eighteen years, and in that time they’ve raised almost £9 million, which goes towards helping provide vital support to people living with cancer all over the UK. These funds are raised through an annual national raffle, hosting Coffee Mornings and their customers generously donating change at till points. They also give donations from the sales of Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Christmas cards each year. They’re currently working with people with a lived experience of cancer to design a new range of cards specifically for people who have been affected by cancer. Cardfactory employees also take part in their own fundraising and this year, Jane, alongside some of her cardfactory colleagues, is taking part in an incredible four Mighty Hikes. Jane (pictured here with some of her colleagues) will be taking part in the Norfolk Coast, Giant's Causeway, Gower Peninsula and Northumberland hikes to help raise £15,000. “My father had bowel cancer, and although treatment was successful for him, my mother-in-law was diagnosed with lung and brain cancer, and it was unfortunately too late for treatment to be effective, so we sadly lost her. My husband, sister and two brother-in-law’s have all been diagnosed with cancer, but are all in a good place at the moment. “I wanted a personal challenge where I could raise money for a good cause. All my colleagues taking part have been amazing and will continue to do everything they can to support Macmillan through this partnership.” We can continue to support to millions of people living with cancer thanks to the people and organisations that support us, like the cardfactory customers and colleagues.
