Ideal Heating celebrates £325,000 Macmillan fundraising milestone

Ideal Heating welcomed representatives from Macmillan Cancer Support to its headquarters to celebrate a new milestone of £325,000 raised for the charity. 

The heating manufacturer has raised vital funds for Macmillan since 2018, supporting the charity with its work to help people living with cancer and their families. 

Ideal employees, alongside colleagues from sister companies within Groupe Atlantic UK and Republic of Ireland, have raised the funds through sponsored challenges, bake sales, its dress-down Friday initiative and a staff boiler purchase scheme, averaging more than £40,000 a year.  

“Through our ongoing partnership with Macmillan, we’re very proud to be making a difference to the lives of so many people affected by cancer,” said Miriam Moore, HR director, Ideal Heating and Groupe Atlantic UK and Republic of Ireland. “We’re delighted to have reached the £325,000 milestone, but we’re not stopping there. Our colleagues continue to find new and more creative ways of raising money, which reflects the community spirit and ethos we have embedded within our business.” 

Hannah Wragg, Macmillan’s Relationship Fundraising Manager, visited Ideal’s headquarters in Hull to celebrate the achievement. “Every little helps and we couldn’t be more grateful for the support to help us do whatever it takes to help people with cancer live life as fully as possible,” she said.
