Housebuilder Story Homes has raised £44,000 for its charity partner, Cancer Research UK (CRUK).

Staff at Story Homes selected CRUK as their charity partner for the 2023/24 financial year, with all colleague and business fundraising going to this worthwhile organisation for the past 12 months. Staff across the business – which has regional offices in Carlisle, Newcastle and Chorley – carried out various fundraising activities to raise money for the charity, ranging from golf days and bake sales, to raffles and dress down days raising £22,000 for the Cancer charity. Thanks to CRUK's 'Double the Impact' match funding scheme, this equated to £44,000 raised for life-saving cancer treatments.

The phenomenal donation of £44,000 raised by Story Homes employees will enable Cancer Research UK to make new, life-saving discoveries that will allow us to create more moments with our loved ones.

It’s both exciting and promising that Story Homes has selected us, for the third year in a row, to be their charity partner 2024/2025. Their passion and commitment will empower Cancer Research UK to make even more progress, in the coming year, creating a world, where everybody lives longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer. Huge thank you for your continued support. Together we are beating cancer."
