The Pioneer Group is proud to announce a successful year of fundraising efforts, culminating in a donation of £2,152 to Tommy’s, the UK’s leading charity dedicated to making pregnancy and birth safer for all.
This contribution could fund a month of research by a Tommy’s scientist, helping to prevent second trimester losses and reduce the heartbreak of baby loss. Staff, stakeholders, and residents of The Pioneer Group came together throughout the year to support this important cause, participating in a variety of creative fundraising activities.
Notable fundraising highlights include:
- David Bucknall running 60 miles over the month of June.
- Sarah Melaney walking 100 miles during May.
- Kathryn Priest completing 100 skips every day in October.
- A series of community events, including a bake sale, a bake-off by the Executive Leadership Team, a World Cup football sweepstake, Christmas raffle donations, and a sponsored football game.
