Top Scottish gas and electrical business, Saltire Facilities Management are doubling down on their community commitment by announcing a corporate charity partnership with fellow Glasgow-based organisation, Beatson Cancer Charity.
As an organisation, Saltire Facilities Management, and its employees have raised funds for many worthy causes over the past two decades, but unfortunate circumstances directly affecting a couple of Saltire employees, made the decision to partner with Beatson this year an obvious one.
The partnership, which started at the beginning of July, following a presentation by the charity to a selection of the Saltire team, will see the business take part in several events to raise essential money to fund the work of Beatson. Already, the team at Saltire have raised money via a ‘pop-up shop’ that the Beatson team brought to the office in Bellshill, and over £2,000 was raised as part of the Saltire Annual Golf Day, held at Airdrie Golf Club on 14th July.
Speaking of the decision to partner with Beatson, Saltire Facilities Management Managing Director Alan Murray commented; “As a business we are proud to have supported many charities over the last 20 years, and our team play an active role in choosing the beneficiaries. This year, whilst we unfortunately currently have a couple of colleagues going through their own cancer journeys it is great to be able to give something back to the organisations providing support for those dealing with this illness.”
In a show of commitment, several Saltire team members have already signed up to take part in Beatson’s annual 10k walk, ‘Off the Beatson track’ on Sunday 27th August. The team members will raise funds for the organisation by asking their colleagues, as well and friends and family for donations.
