Metro support JCB’s ambitious fundraising campaign for NSPCC

JCB, a longstanding Metro customer, has embarked on its most ambitious fundraising campaign to date, aiming to raise £2 million for the NSPCC by 2025, when JCB celebrates its 80th anniversary and 40 years of support for the charity.

A JCB spokesperson commented on the campaign, “The NSPCC’s work safeguards over a million children through its school programmes, national helplines, and specialist centres, and the support JCB offer to the NSPCC makes a tangible difference to children in our communities.”

The appeal has already seen a variety of fundraising activities, including Fun Runs, a Three Peaks challenge, a bake-off competition, and a football tournament.

Inspired by JCB’s fundraising Sportive cycling event, members of the Metro team contributed to the cause by cycling 50 miles over the Bank Holiday weekend, raising an impressive £15,000.

We extend our sincere thanks to all who donated and supported the Metro team. The event was a great success.

JCB expressed their gratitude, stating, “Just wanted to give your guys a significant shout out for the efforts and commitment on Sunday’s mammoth bike ride. Firstly, Metro are thanked for joining up with JCB’s fund raising appeal for the NSPCC. Not only are your teams and sponsors making a huge difference to our target but importantly to the many children who will benefit from this fantastic charity.”

If you would still like to donate, it is not too late and our collection page is still open!
