Exertis raises £125,000 for Mental Health UK
Exertis has announced it has raised £125,000 for Mental Health UK, bringing its FY24 partnership with the charity to a close. This brings opportunity for Exertis to fundraise for new charities for FY25. For this financial year, instead of supporting one charity, the employees of Exertis voted in favour of selecting local charities to raise money for. This means that eight charities will be receiving Exertis’s fundraising monies, including six hospices, one homeless charity and one teenage cancer charity. The full list comprises: St Michael’s Hospice in Basingstoke, East Lancashire Hospice in Burnley, Overgate Hospice in Elland, St Clare Hospice in Harlow, Prospect Hospice for Hypertec, Teens Unite for MTR, The Big Issue in Snetterton and DougieMac in Stoke. “We are committed to supporting the local communities around our offices in the UK,” said Michaela DeGale, charity and
volunteering lead at Exertis UK. “This year, we are excited to be supporting smaller, local charities through a variety of fundraising efforts. Our employees are dedicated to finding innovative ways to fundraise and volunteer, and we believe that by working together, we can make a positive impact on the lives of those around us.” Last year, colleagues from Exertis found multiple ways to raise money for Mental Health UK, from golf days, bake sales, dress- down days, raffles and tech sales. “We really cannot thank the people of Exertis enough for their dedication, passion and desire to improve the lives of people affected by poor mental health,” said Rob Harding, partnerships manager at Mental Health UK. “Thank you so much for having been our charity partner and for continuing to make mental health a priority within Exertis.”
