Utility provider United Utilities has chosen Macmillan Cancer Relief as its charity
of the year, and Macmillan supporter Christine Hamilton joined in the launch in 
a day of ‘Carry on Fundraising.’
Employees of United Utilities, the North West’s
main provider of water, wastewater and electricity services, have voted for Macmillan
Cancer Relief as the company’s charity of the year. The company has set itself a
target of raising a minimum of £50,000 through employee fundraising events over 
the next 12 months, although it is confident it will exceed that total.

Macmillan supporter Christine Hamilton joined in ‘Carry On Fundraising’, a day of
challenges inspired by the comedy film series, devised to launch the new partnership.
