Designated Charity of the Year: Maggie’s Centre, Nottingham

Cheque for Maggies Centre Nottingham

Simon Nicholas Associates, construction recruitment specialists of Nottingham, chose Maggie’s Centre in Nottingham as their designated Charity for 2015.

We were delighted to present a cheque  for £1,400 to Jennifer Hillary, Fundraising Organiser of Maggie’s Centre Nottingham.

“It has been a pleasure raising money for such a worthwhile charity and has been wonderful to see the centre and meet the staff and volunteers” said Simon who challenged his fear of heights and took part in a Sky dive to raise funds.

Watch Simon in action on his sky dive:

Maggie’s Nottingham provides free practical, emotional and social support for people with cancer and their families and friends. Built in the grounds of the City Hospital the Centre is a warm and welcoming place with professional staff on hand to offer the support people need to find their way through cancer.

The Nottingham Centre opened in November 2011 and currently welcomes around 50 people a day into the Centre offering support to people with cancer, their friends and families.

Maggie’s Nottingham is funded by donations from businesses, groups and individuals and do not receive statutory funding.

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to raising money and for your generous  donations.
