Capula in the community - 2011 round-up
16 Dec 2011
2011 has been another busy year for Capula in our community & charity efforts.
Company-wide our staff have been keen participants in fundraising activities for numerous causes, including Jeans for Genes, Children in Need, Wear it Pink, and Comic Relief.
Extending our support beyond twenty years, Capula was again the main sponsor of the Stone Town Bonfire & Fireworks Display, held at Westbridge Park in Stone, where our involvement included a contribution to the nominated charity for the year, as well as leading the design and marketing for one of the highlights of the local calendar.
Capula has also renewed our support of the charity golf days hosted by both Fiddler's Ferry (whose golf days have raised almost £200k for their nominated charities over the years) and Drax power stations. We also sponsored and participated in Thames Water’s charity 5km run supporting of WaterAid, with our team of Neil Taylor, Guy Le Geyt and Dale Reeves claiming the Team Prize on the day.
In Cumbria, Capula have sponsored a barrel at the Cockermouth Round Table Beer Festival (which raises funds for a number of local charities) for the third year running and supported coffee mornings dedicated to fundraising for Macmillan Nurses. In addition, our Westlakes office led a company-wide campaign to support the Movember initiative which encourages men to grow moustaches throughout November to raise awareness of prostate & testicular cancer charities. Almost £2k was raised as a result.
Speaking on behalf of Capula, Business Development Director Simon Coombs said "At Capula, we seek to support our local communities wherever possible through our Corporate Social Responsibility policy. This year we’ve continued to support the Stone Town Bonfire & Fireworks Display and Cockermouth Beer Festival, while continuing our involvement with the golf days arranged by Fiddler's Ferry and Drax Power and participating in Thames Water’s charity run. We look forward to doing more good work in this area next year.”
