Employees from Norwich Union have raised £251,000 for the company’s staff charity
of the year 2006, the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign. 
Employees from all sites across
the UK got behind the partnership after 2 employees, Andy Bode and Keith Dunsire
nominated the Charity as a result of their personal experience of muscle disease.
Employees efforts raised £136,000 and an additional £115,000 was donated by the 
company.

The money raised by the partnership will fund the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign’s 
Care Advisor in Glasgow for a year, a research project into Limb Girdle muscular
dystrophy, 3 major publications and a number of other care projects across the country.
The publications will address the need for information about muscle disease for 
schools, parents and young children facing these conditions.
