Lpg Supplier Countrywide Raises First Donation

Staff at lpg supplier Countrywide Energy have raised over £31,000 for cancer charities in their first year of fundraising. The 812 staff from across Countrywide’s energy, agriculture and retail businesses came up with many ideas to raise money for Cancer Research UK and the James Whale Fund For Kidney Cancer.

David Asquith, Countrywide’s director of energy, said: “Not only have our staff raised over £31,000, but we have had a great time doing so as well. Hundreds of employees have been involved in one way or another, whether its bungee jumping 150 feet towards the car park, baking cakes or buying an item in the fashion sale.

“It’s amazing just how many people have had their lives touched by cancer, myself included, and it’s so rewarding to be able to make a difference, however small, by getting involved and becoming a fundraiser. We are all chuffed to bits.”

Many of Countrywide’s suppliers also donated to the cause and raised £3,900.
