Construction firm’s fundraising passes halfway point

Construction and development group Bowmer + Kirkland has announced that its efforts to raise £50,000 for a cancer charity have passed the halfway mark.

Earlier this year, the firm announced it had selected Teenage Cancer Trust as its charity partner for the next two years.

As part of the partnership, Bowmer + Kirkland has set a target to raise £50,000 in the first year, with the business also pledging to match-fund employee donations, doubling the impact of contributions made throughout the partnership.

Thanks to a programme of activities organised by employees and regional teams, fundraising has got off to a flying start.

Julia Hellyer, head of social value at Bowmer + Kirkland, said: “We’re incredibly proud to have surpassed the halfway point of our first-year fundraising target so early in our partnership with Teenage Cancer Trust.

“The response from colleagues across the business has been fantastic, with people giving their time, taking on personal challenges and coming together to raise funds for such an important cause.

“There is still plenty more to come, and we’re looking forward to building on this momentum over the remainder of the year.”
