Plumbers merchant group Highbourne Group, which includes City Plumbing Supplies, has extended its long-standing partnership with Teenage Cancer Trust for a further three years. This extension will bring the company’s total support for the charity to 15 years, with a new fundraising target of £5 million.
Since 2012, Highbourne Group has raised over £3.2m through a variety of fundraising initiatives, from corporate conferences and charity skydives to sponsored head shaves and squat challenges and even a Teenage Cancer Trust-inspired tattoo.
The company’s annual football tournament returns to Birmingham in June, while the Senior Leadership Team is preparing for another endurance challenge following last year’s successful Mount Snowdon climb. Teenage Cancer Trust will also have a major presence at Highbourne Group’s internal conference in March, where young people supported by the charity will share their inspiring stories.
Rachel Baldwin, Chief People Officer at Highbourne Group, said: “We’re incredibly proud to extend our partnership with Teenage Cancer Trust for another three years, marking a fifteen-year commitment to this extraordinary charity. Twelve years ago, our colleagues chose Teenage Cancer Trust as our charity partner, and ever since, we’ve been inspired by their dedication to supporting young people with cancer.
“We’ve made great progress in raising awareness and engagement, building strong relationships with the Teenage Cancer Trust team along the way. Their work is vital, and we’re determined to build on our success and set our sights even higher for the next three years. Here’s to an exciting future of working together to make a lasting impact.”
