This includes over 30 local charities supported, over 100 hours spent volunteering, and over 300 miles run to raise money for charity.
New Milestones: Proud Silver Patrons of Bury Hospice
This year, we also reached a significant milestone by becoming Silver Patrons of Bury Hospice, enhancing our support for their compassionate mission. As the inaugural silver patron, we are proud to be playing a vital role in strengthening Bury Hospice’s ability to provide essential care to patients and support their family members – impacting local lives immensely.
Nina Camplin, Corporate Fundraiser at Bury Hospice said “By becoming the first silver patron, Rakem group exemplifies how local businesses can demonstrate support and heartfelt community care.”
As keen supporters of local causes, our team regularly participates in various hospice events, and recently some of our team members dedicated a day helping maintain Bury Hospice’s award-winning gardens.
Employee Volunteering: Giving Back with Heart
But our commitment didn’t stop at donations. We encouraged all our staff to contribute their time and talents with two full days of volunteering each. Here are just a few of the ways our team got involved:
- Gardening at Bury Hospice
- Supporting Macmillan and Barnardo’s Events
- Participating in the Bury Hospice Twilight Walk
- Volunteering at Bury 10K
- Organising a Charity Football Match
- Participating in 50 Miles in 30 Days for Alzheimer’s UK
As we celebrate these successes, we’re looking ahead to an even brighter, more impactful 2025. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey.
