Employees from cash handling experts Volumatic showed their support for Breast Cancer Now by taking part in a Wear It Pink day for the second year running, held on 24 October.
Around 40 staff based at the Coventry head office dressed in pink to raise money for a breast cancer charity very close to their hearts.
The fundraising day was organised by customer service representative, Mandy House, who was inspired by her own family’s experience with breast cancer and the impact it has had within her team at work. The event featured a pink bake sale, sweepstakes and competitions, with the office decked out in pink decorations and donation boxes.
Thanks to the generosity of everyone involved, the team raised a total of £260 – which was then matched by the Volumatic board, bringing the total donation to £520 for Breast Cancer Now.
James Harris, MD at Volumatic, said: “Last year’s Wear it Pink day was great fun and all our employees wanted to get behind this day again this year. Cancer is a terrible disease in all its forms and has unfortunately touched many people within our team or their families and friends.”
