We encourage staff to support charities close to their hearts and our company and colleagues will always aim to help out with fundraising and an array of other activities.
For many seriously ill babies and children, research is their only hope. That is why MHC actively supports our chosen charity of Sparks and encourages staff to take part in a whole host of activities to raise money for our company charity.
Sparks’ mission is to raise money for child health research projects across the UK, which are funded through a joint programme with GOSH (Great Ormond Street Hospital) Charity. Together, GOSH Charity and Sparks fund more pioneering research to find new ways to diagnose, treat and cure childhood diseases.
