October 11 2018 - 1 min read

The Edinburgh team spent their Friday morning fundraising!

On the 28th September, the wonderful staff of our Edinburgh office banded together with baked goods to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support.

Organised by Susan and Karen, the team hosted a bake sale which was open to all Edinburgh staff and carers.

It was an excellent turn out where the team managed to raise an incredible £246.25 for MacMillan which all goes toward helping those who need cancer support.
