Every year, we dedicate this month to supporting Breast Cancer Awareness, a cause that is close to so many of us here. Today, our team came together in the office wearing pink and hosting a charity bake sale in the communal kitchen. From brownies to cookies to cakes of every shape and size, our staff have gone above and beyond with their home-baked creations this year. We are proud to share that thanks to the generosity of our neighbours in the Tannery Bracken Workspace Plus , community, and supporters, we have already raised over 20% of our target this morning alone! A huge thank you to everyone who has donated so far. Every two months we support a different charity, raising funds six times throughout the year, but October is always reserved for Breast Cancer Awareness. All proceeds from this month’s fundraising will go directly to Breast Cancer Now, helping to make life-changing research and care possible. If you’d like to support this important cause, please donate via our JustGiving page: https://lnkd.in/efQ8wPeu #BreastCancerAwareness #Charity #TeamDPP #Fundraising #BakeSale
