Staff at the Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC) have raised more than £1,000 in just seven days for Macmillan Cancer Support (Jersey).
JFSC employees took part in the charity’s national fundraising campaign, the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning, at the end of September.
Through a number of activities, including a cake bake, dress down day, competitions and sales of homemade goods, staff managed to raise a total of £1,033.51 for the cancer charity.
Star bakers entered an impressive thirty five cakes into the ‘bake-off’ of which Mary Berry would have been suitably proud – not a soggy bottom in sight. After some hotly contested judging, staff were invited to taste a slice in exchange for a small donation.
To add to the final total, two staff members also took part in the Jersey Marathon Relay on 2 October, raising £400 in sponsorship from JFSC staff.
JFSC Chief Operating Officer, Mike Jeacock commented:
“We are delighted to have raised this much for Macmillan Cancer Support (Jersey). The effort and enthusiasm shown by JFSC staff in fundraising for the charity has been fantastic. Macmillan is close to many people’s hearts and to have reached this total in such a short period of time clearly demonstrates this. We are really pleased to be able to contribute to the charity’s national campaign, which has already raised close to £8 million.”
