Walk All Over Cancer is a fundraising and activity challenge that occurs annually every March in aid of the charity Cancer Research UK.

The challenge is to walk 10,000 steps every day in March, encouraging everyone to get fit and feel amazing as they step up to raise money for life-saving cancer research.

Thank you to all our Team Members who took part, and for your continued support in raising valuable funds for our chosen charity, CRUK.

This month is Ovarian & Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer for men in the UK, and ovarian cancer is the 6^th most common cancer for women in the UK.

These cancers can be difficult to detect in the early stages, so it’s important to be aware of the symptoms, signs and changes you should get checked

CRUK have a wealth of information. Click the links below to find out what they are, how you’re diagnosed, about treatment and side effects, and where to get practical and emotional support.

This year, it’s World Cancer Day’s 20th anniversary – the theme is I Am and I Will and in the spirit of this year’s theme, we arranged for Cancer Research UK to visit us.

Representatives from CRUK invited our Team Members to attend presentations on a range of topics, including what affects the risk of developing cancer, the importance of visiting the doctor early with any concerns, and cancer screening programmes.

There were also Unity Bands on sale and some activities to show what research is being done with the funds raised.

Marlowe Fire & Security has always supported charities that are close to the hearts of its Team Members.

Unfortunately, at this moment in time, cancer affects us all. Thankfully with everyone’s support, Cancer Research UK (CRUK) is pioneering research to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.

Team Members from across Marlowe Connect, Matthew Elliot House and remote Team Members (from both Engineering and Sales) all came together last Sunday to take part in this epic challenge!

Training diligently for months prior to the event, the Team did us proud; dealing with injuries, achieving personal bests and for many runners it was the first time they had ever ran the 21K distance!  

Congratulations to Craig Horrell, Barry Cattrall, Matt Anderson, Jemma Bradbury, Daniel Marshall, Laura Trench, Bethany Jones, Robbie Birchall, Devon Williams, Jack Bostock and Dom Wharton for successfully completing this challenge.

Accordingly, the event – which took place at the Bet 365 Stadium, home of Stoke City Football Club – has been renamed ‘The Chris Arnold Cup’ and all money raised will go to the Stoke Association.

Representing Marlowe Fire & Security were Jack Bostock, Darron Gee and Mark Palethorpe, and apart from the silky skills on display, the match was a great success with over £2500 being raised for this great cause.

Last week, our CEO Rob Flinn presented a cheque to Natasha Foxford of Cancer Research UK for over £9,000 to support them in their important work.

Over the past 12 months our Team Members have organised numerous fundraising activities, giving their time to support our chosen charity. Our initiatives have included our Charity Climb of Mount Snowdon where 25 of our daring, and slightly mad Team Members, braved treacherous conditions to reach the summit.

We would like to thank our Customers, Suppliers and most importantly all our Team Members, Family and Friends for their generous donations and support over the past year.

If you would like to find our more about Cancer Research UK and the important work they are doing on behalf of all of us, please visit www.cancerresearchuk.org

Foodbanks see a spike in demand over the summer break because school meals are unavailable, putting this fantastic resource under pressure.

Swapping their tools for shopping trolleys our team headed to a local supermarket to stock up on essentials to help refill the Foodbanks shelves. The team spent time at the Foodbank and also collected and delivered donations from NHS staff.
