Southampton Strike a Pose!
What can we say but Southampton Office is brilliant and thank you. We have been supporting Mountbatten Hampshire Hospice for 7 years now.
In the past 6 years we have raised in excess of £6500! (this is an astounding amount especially as we aren’t a business). Since the beginning of this year, 2024 we have raised an amazing £5000 plus- totalling £11,500,
But the year isn’t over yet, can we raise as much in the rest of the year as we have in the previous 6 years? Of course we can!! How have we done it?
Apart from our smaller fundraising events, 28 colleagues, friends and families took up the HASSRA April Challenge.
These wonderful people either walked, ran, swam or cycled a total of 6229.2 kilometres in April and our team came top! HASSRA awarded us a fantastic £1600. Thanks to all participants and thanks to HASSRA.
Then there was the Models for Mountbatten, sustainable fashion show, we were joined by the Lord Mayor of Southampton, Councillor Dave Shields. What an evening, it was genuinely brilliantly enjoyable. Pauline put together the costumes and the cat walk, so professional, so much fun. Community came together. The fashion show was a great opportunity to highlight the excellent work that Mountbatten Hampshire Hospice does. It was a fun event which had members of Southampton Jobcentre, St James Road Methodist Church, Southampton City Council and the local neighbourhood coming together to do something amazing. We raised awareness of the Charity and the issue of sustainable fashion but most importantly we raised over £2800 for such a worthy cause. Too many colleagues to thank personally, the models, the volunteers on and before the day and everyone who supported the raffle or in any other way. THANK YOU. You continue to make a difference.
Enjoy the photos above and thanks again! Pauline and Donna, Southampton Committee.

Eastbourne Macmillan Charity presentation
Thank you everyone at St Annes/Grove Road Jobcentres, who came to join us for Bacon Rolls - Unfortunately we couldn't get a representative from Macmillan but we still did a small cheque presentation.
You helped raise an amazing £650 for them - a spokesperson from Macmillan did say "We’re so sorry to hear about the loss of your colleague. Please remember we are here for anyone that has been affected by cancer. You can call our team of specialist advisers, currently 7 days a week, 8am – 8pm on 0808 808 0000 or visit macmillan.org.uk where we have a great online community who can help.
It’s fantastic that you have held a charity auction and want to donate the funds to Macmillan in memory of your colleague. £650 could pay for a Macmillan nurse for 20 hours helping people living with cancer and their families receive essential medical, practical and emotional support. You really are making a difference to the lives of those who need us, and we can’t thank you enough."Thank you again guys - You are all Amazing!
