Employees from cash handling company Volumatic have taken part in a special ‘Wear It Pink’ day to raise money for cancer charity, Breast Cancer Now.
Around 40 staff members based at Volumatic’s Head Office in Coventry donned something pink – from socks, scarves and wigs to full head-to-toe outfits in pink, to raise funds.
Having been affected by breast cancer both within her own family and team at work, customer service representative Mandy House (second from right) organised the day to raise money for the 600,000 people currently living with breast cancer in the UK.
Not only did Mandy encourage her colleagues to wear something pink for the day and decorate the staff canteen in pink, but she also arranged a pink bake sale, held games and sweepstakes for everyone to take part in throughout the day, all themed around the charity.
The event raised £656, a sum that was then doubled by the Volumatic Board, to make a fantastic final total of £1,312.
James Harris, MD at Volumatic, said: “We always choose a different charity to support every year, and when Mandy suggested raising money for Breast Cancer Now, we all wanted to get behind the ‘Wear It Pink’ day for this extremely worthy cause.”
