Magherafelt staff at Acheson & Glover help raise £10k for Cancer Focus NI
The target was reached following a series of fundraising activities and a Christmas donation from the company.
Activities included coffee mornings and raffles, ‘colour’ themed days and Blue Cross sales. Eight ‘game’ male volunteers from AG’s Omagh and Magherafelt sites also volunteered to be sponsored to take part in Cancer Focus’ ‘van pull’ campaign, which saw the van pulled 30,000 miles collectively by people across Northern Ireland’s towns.
