Macmillan and npower
Macmillan and npower – Britain's brightest energy company – have been working together since 2004.
The partnership has flourished over the last four years and is now valued at a massive £2 million.
npower's workforce has a passion for charity and its staff have helped to raise valuable funds to improve the lives of those affected by cancer. Employees have participated in a whole host of fundraising events, including World's Biggest Coffee Morning, the London Marathon and the Great North Run, to name a few.
In 2007 npower decided to take the partnership to the next level and became official sponsor of Walk Wonders. Carol Hart, community involvement manager at npower, says: 'We're delighted to sponsor Walk Wonders for the second year running. Last year's event was a huge success and npower is committed to making this year even bigger and better. Walking can significantly improve your health, help build stamina and burn excess calories, so we're encouraging everyone - including our staff - to get involved and help people living with cancer.'
Macmillan and npower continue to develop new ways of working together through a range of commercial initiatives.
The success of the partnership has been recognised with a Hollis Award for most effective use of sponsorship within charity and community.
