Communications services provider KCOM Group has beaten its target of raising £100,000
for the Group’s charity partner, children’s medical charity [Sparks](http://www.sparks.org.uk).

The money was raised in the first 12 months of a two-year partnership. Employees
have climbed mountains and ridden the equivalent of the Tour de France in sponsored
events, swum across the Humber, and run in the Great North Run.

[KCOM Group](http://www.kcom.com/) has raised raised over £300,000 during the last
seven years through its Charity Partner programme. Each new Charity Partner is voted
for by employees and the organisation supports them for two years, always aiming
to beat the previous fundraising target.
