Employees at leading home security, hardware and fenestration component providers, Access 360, ERA and Zoo Hardware have raised more than £6,000 for men’s health through Movember activity.
Members of Access 360,ERA and Zoo Hardware teams showed their support for the annual fundraising drive by either growing a moustache or walking or running more than 60km across November.
More than £3,500 in individual donations were backed up by a £2,500 boost from ERA Home Security, taking the total to just over £6,000.
A total of 766 kilometres were covered across the month, while many grew out beards, moustaches and goatees in line with the Movember tradition. Some went even further by carrying out individual events such as bake sales.
The team’s biggest fundraiser was Warehouse Operator, Jason Worwood, who raised £410, while Warehouse Manager, Mike Rathbone covered the largest distance at 179km.
Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects around the world, boosting men’s health research and transforming the way health services reach and support men. The campaign has funded groundbreaking projects all over the world, while engaging with men to understand what works best for them to accelerate change.
Stacey Edwards, HR Director, said:
“We’re incredibly proud of our team and the collective effort to support Movember this year. They’ve raised a fantastic total and put in a huge effort to raise funds and back the cause.
“It’s also contributed to a really positive atmosphere around the workplace, with everyone encouraging each other and doing what Movember is supposed to; raise awareness and open up conversations on men’s health.
“As an organisation, we think it’s crucial to play our part in supporting our employees' charitable work, so we’re delighted to make a contribution as recognition of their efforts.”
