Howard Lake | 28 July 2010 | News
Breast Cancer Care has won a staff vote to become Moto’s Charity of the Year. The partnership is expected to raise up to £50,000 for the charity which supports anybody affected by breast cancer.
The Moto in the Community Trust is the charitable arm of Moto Hospitality Ltd, the UK’s largest Motorway Service Area provider. The Trust aims to “make a real difference to local communities”.
It is planning a range of activities starting with a Strawberry Tea this month which saw the 58 service areas across the country throwing strawberry themed parties. Staff will also be busy in October marking Breast Cancer Awareness Month, with the stations turning pink to show their support.
Brian Lots, Chairman of Moto in the Community, said: “I am proud that in our fifth year, Moto in the Community will be aiming to raise over £50,000 for Breast Cancer Care. In past years we have supported other small local, regional and large national charities thanks to the dedication of Moto staff, who work tirelessly to raise money for good causes close to their hearts.”
In 2009 Moto in the Community raised more than £70,000 for its previous charity of the Year, Macmillan Cancer Support.
