MENCAP March Newsletter

Coors Brewers Ltd, Travis Perkins Group and the Park Plaza Hotel at Belfast International Airport have all begun new fundraising partnerships with Mencap. In January this year, Coors Brewers Ltd, Travis Perkins Group and the Park Plaza Hotel at Belfast International Airport all announced that they are supporting Mencap through brand-new fundraising partnerships.

Staff at Coors Brewers Ltd chose Mencap as their charity of the year. Over 3,000 Coors staff across the country will raise more than Ł200,000 for Mencap over the next 2 years. They will be raising money by doing things like running marathons, dress down days, beer tasting days and jumble sales.

The partnership with building and construction industry supplier Travis Perkins will last for 2 years and will hopefully raise over Ł300,000 for Mencap. Travis Perkins staff will be taking part in a whole range of exciting fundraising activities – including a Travis Perkins team running in the Flora London Marathon.

The Park Plaza Hotel at Belfast International Airport has announced that Mencap will benefit from their 2007 charity fund. Fundraising activities will include a ‘special charity menu’ where Ł1 from the cost of a meal will go into the fund, as well as many other fundraising activities set to take place.
