£10,000 for Macmillan
7th November 2017

Solidor has raised £10,000 for a Macmillan hospice in Staffordshire by asking its customers to pledge £1 for every door purchased in September, then matching their donations.

staff and customers worked in association with the hospice’s DougieMac ‘Bring a Pound’ campaign. Also on a fundraising day in September, Solidor senior management took turns to run between 5K and 10k to complete a 50k challenge, and Customer Services manager Cameron Edmonds took on a 150-mile cycle while others made sweet treats and savoury snacks to sell on the day.

Solidor’s customers joined in too. Blackburn-based installer McDermott Windows generously went a step further by pledging £15 for every Solidor purchased throughout September.

Solidor Group head of sales and Marketing Gareth Busson added: “The generosity shown by McDermott Windows is overwhelming, we really do have the best customers in the industry.

“The Douglas Macmillan Hospice is a fantastic local charity and we know that the money raised will be put to good use. We’re really proud to be able to support them. A big thanks must also go to all the Solidor staff who took part and did a fantastic job in raising money for a great cause.”

Voluntary donations make up 75% of the £12m needed this year alone to maintain the services of the hospice. Established in 1973, the Douglas Macmillan Hospice is a 28-bed care facility for people facing incurable cancer, servicing primarily the North Staffordshire area.
