Flame Heating Group is supporting North East cancer charity Fighting All Cancers Together (F.A.C.T.) with an £9,290 donation.

The firm has been fundraising for F.A.C.T. over the course of 2018, as it is the heating and plumbing merchant’s nominated charity for this year. 

Flame hosted a series of charitable events, culminating in its annual ‘Flame The Heat Is On’ Racenight at Newcastle Racecourse. HSBC UK matched all donations from the racenight, which contributed to the total amount raised.

Independent merchants have joined the vital search for missing children across the UK as part of a partnership between The IPG and Missing People.

The IPG are a membership group for plumbing, heating and bathroom specialists. Through their network of local, independent businesses they have a presence in over 200 locations across the country so are well-placed to support with Missing People’s ongoing battle locating missing children.

Following the success of RGB Building Supplies’ Christmas Present Appeal last year, the builders merchant is delighted to bring it back and is once again inviting the local community to donate gifts that will be given to families being supported by Children’s Hospice South West over the festive period.

Until Friday 1st December, RGB’s branches in will be displaying Christmas Trees and inviting people to place a gift suitable for a child of any age, or their parents, underneath them. The hospice will then distribute the presents to families in time for Christmas Day.

Superior, a leading manufacturer based in Dorset, hosted its own ‘Apprentice Extra Mile Marathon’ on Saturday March 18 to raise funds for Julia’s House.

As part of its sponsorship, the manufacturing company marked out a mile circuit in the factory car park, encouraging apprentices to take part in the run. The apprentices launched the event by raising money and completing their own Extra Mile Marathon.

13 Superior apprentices, aged 16 to 24, completed the marathon in a relay style, dressed in colourful headbands, leg warmers and tutus. The apprentices raised more than £1,000 with the ‘Apprentice Extra Mile Marathon’ for Julia’s House.
