The charity has just received a £1,000 donation from Ingersoll Rand, which supplies and maintains air compressor units from its Walton Summit outlet.
It tasked its service engineers and members of its service and sales teams with achieving a zero accident at work rate for 2020, as well as asking them to highlight any areas of especially good and potentially poor safety practice they encountered.
In return for reaching the target, it promised the donation, asking employees to nominate their preferred charities. Rosemere Cancer Foundation received the most nominations.
UK Services Leader David Salisbury said: “We ran the scheme at our three UK outlets with Rosemere Cancer Foundation coming out on top for the Preston area. Involving staff in safety at work schemes is very important to us. We decided to introduce the charity element because most of us have a charity close to our hearts and we felt it would help motivate our teams to stay safe while earning money to donate to their favourite charity, and of course we know how difficult charities, especially local charities, have found fundraising during the pandemic.”
Rosemere Cancer Foundation works to bring world class cancer treatments and services to cancer patients from throughout Lancashire and South Cumbria being treated at Rosemere Cancer Centre, the region’s specialist cancer treatment and radiotherapy centre at the Royal Preston Hospital, and also at another eight local hospital cancer units across the two counties.
The charity funds cutting edge equipment, research, training and other cancer services and therapies that the NHS is unable to afford. For further
