IBMG South East was gifted the commemorative builder’s tool, engraved with thanks, in acknowledgement of its incredible £300,000 lifetime donation to the charity.
The partnership with Teenage Cancer Trust starting 12 years ago with Parker Building Supplies and has since expanded to incorporate Chandlers Building Supplies and Fairalls Builders Merchants as the Independent Builders Merchants Group grew.
“The original goal, to raise £100k in a decade, was achieved in just eight years,” said charity champion Stuart Chappell of Parker Building Supplies. “Since 2019 support has really ramped up and to have now reached £300k is just amazing. This achievement is the culmination of years of fund-raising work across every brand and branch of IBMG South East. We are very proud of our efforts and delighted to have helped make a big difference to a very worthwhile charity.”
The IBMG annual golf day is a flagship event of the partnership while numerous other events and initiatives to include marathons; hikes; cycle rides; dragon boating; wing walking; as well as cake sales; BBQ’s; branch raffles; quizzes and football tournaments have all contributed to reach the substantial sum of £300,000.
