CEF has announced a major philanthropic achievement, reaching its goal of raising more than £1 million for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Since the partnership commenced in 2020, the company, supported by its staff and customers, has generated a total of £1,006,938.01 as of the end of December 2025.

The total amount raised throughout the duration of the collaboration has now reached £1,260,252.48. This funding has been secured through a diverse array of initiatives across the UK, including mountain climbs, head-shaves, golf days, and cycling challenges, alongside traditional raffles and bake sales.

The scale of the donation is set to have a direct impact on frontline services; for context, £1 million is capable of funding 13 Macmillan nurses for a full year, providing essential care to those navigating a cancer diagnosis.
