Corporate charity partner

In November 2008, Mitchells & Butlers announced a new charity partnership with Marie Curie Cancer Care. In addition to employee fundraising, the Company pledged a £25,000 donation to kick start the relationship.

Marie Curie Cancer Care provides high quality nursing care for people with cancer and other terminal illnesses giving them the choice to spend their final days in the comfort of their own homes, in familiar surroundings and supported by their families. Working in communities across the UK – from remote Scottish islands through villages and towns to our biggest cities – Marie Curie Nurses now care for around half of all cancer patients who die at home.

In addition, Marie Curie Cancer Care has 10 hospices across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and two centres for palliative care research. It also runs the world-renowned Marie Curie Research Institute, which investigates the causes and treatments of cancer. This year the charity will care for around 29,000 terminally ill patients in the community and in their hospices.

Our first year of partnership has been a huge success, with our employees supporting the partnership through fundraising activities and taking part in our departmental fundraising challenges. This has resulted in our corporate team raising over £33,000 for the charity in just 12 months through their enthusiasm, generosity and dedication to the partnership.
