The past few months have been challenging for our physical and mental health. This September Financial Services colleagues are going to feel good and do good by clocking up some Miles for Maggie’s. They are facing the challenge in teams of 5, to clock up 500 miles and raise £500 between them. So whether it’s dusting off their old trainers, borrowing their child’s scooter, or hopping back on their bike they are ready to go 500 miles - and maybe even 500 more!Since Maggie’s opened its first centre in 1996, the charity has developed a programme of support that is proven to help people with cancer and their loved ones take back control. Maggie’s has been supporting people with cancer, as well as family and friends, by phone, email and through their online community in recent weeks and will continue to support those who are still shielding, and those who would rather stay at home just now, in this way. Edinburgh Maggie's relies almost entirely on voluntary donations to be able to offer this high quality, professional support. They are facing a funding shortfall of £1.6m in Scotland alone, this year.
