Stagecoach East Midlands has announced a three-year partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support, which sees the operator pledge £10,000 per year to help raise funds for those living with cancer.
To mark the partnership, Stagecoach East Midlands will be holding a ‘Wear It Green’ day to raise awareness of the charity’s work, as well as organising collections at Mansfield, Lincoln and Hull depots.
Matt Cranwell, Managing Director of Stagecoach East Midlands, said: “We are delighted to be supporting Macmillan over the next three years and helping to raise money to support the amazing care and support they provide to help improve the lives of cancer patients and their loved ones. In addition, four buses will be given branding for Macmillan, and the company plans to hold fundraising events in the communities it serves throughout the year.
Jamie Davenport, Senior Fundraising Manager at Macmillan, said: “We are delighted that Stagecoach East Midlands will be supporting Macmillan over the next three years. The support from Stagecoach will help us to improve the lives of those affected by cancer and support those close to them.
“Through vital donations and support like this, we can provide specialist health care, information and financial support to people affected by cancer as well as campaigning for better cancer care.”
