Supporting charities is something that is close to the heart of HighCo MRM and we relish the opportunity to get the whole business involved in events where possible. The below events are ones that we have chosen to take part in during the past month but we don’t limit ourselves to these charities. We understand that everyone has a charity that is important to them for a number of reasons and we take suggestions from all our staff as to what fun days to take a part of.
As well as the great work we do during our working days we have staff who take part in marathons and walks, who volunteer in the local community and donate to charity where possible.
A great big thank you goes to everyone in our business who gets involved!
Wear it Pink Day
As part of breast cancer awareness month we took part in wear it pink with lots of the staff dressing up in pink outfits and submitting their baked entries to our bake sale.
Vikki made a pink rainbow cake that sold out in minutes and Laura’s muffins were extremely popular.
The Suffering
Our Commercial Director, Mel, had a great idea about joining an obstacle course as a big team. After many emails and a lot of persuasion 12 of us signed up to the race and didn’t know what we we’re getting ourselves in for.
The day didn’t start well with the rain and it got slightly worse when the organisers admitted that it might not be the 5k race we expected – more like a 9k course!
We all made it through the course and, although there are still a lot of bruises around, we did have a great day and raised a whopping £2,524.26 for our 5 chosen charities!

Children in Need
We have never had so much effort from the men in the company as we have had for the Children in Need Superhero theme this year! We think they have been just waiting for the chance to break out the costumes for the day!
The company made a great effort at dressing up and to raise even more money we held our renowned bake-off – the savoury version. Mary Berry eat your heart out!
BBC Radio Leicester visited and interviewed some of our staff and even got some comments from our Bake off judges. What a great atmosphere in the!
