Some our previous Charity of the Year partners:

Prudential

The partnership, decided by an employee vote by Prudential UK and Prudential Property Investment Managers (Pru PIM) Ltd, surpassed its fundraising target of £150,000 by raising a fantastic £195,000. All funds raised helped to increase independence and maximize mobility for people with muscle disease.

Prudential were also involved in an exciting year of fundraising with a fun calendar of key events, including raffles, BUPA races and entering a team in the London Marathon.

"I have enjoyed immensely working with the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign as our Charity of the Year. They have supported the partnership with PRUPIM professionally, motivated our staff to fundraise and engaged with all levels of staff to help raise funds for, and awareness of, muscle disease. The partnership also proved to be instrumental in raising the profile of PRUPIMs corporate community investment programme"

Martin Moore, Managing Director, PRUPIM

Makro

The partnership with Makro was extremely successful, Makro staff raised money in a number of ways, selling pin badges and trolley tokens, holding their own fundraising events and even joining in on some challenges organised by the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign Fundraisers across the country.

The partnership with the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign helped fund powered wheelchairs for people with muscular dystrophy who are unable to get funding from the NHS.
