Corporate Social Responsibility, EMEA, Service Provider News

Jon Leigh, Compass Group UK & Ireland's Head of Operations for the North of England, has cycled from London to Paris to raise funds for The Alzheimer’s Society.

 

The gruelling, 300-mile ride covered a distance of 300 miles in sweltering heat to raise £20,700.

 

Fundraising activities involving colleagues from Compass' Healthcare Retail team raised an additional £13,050.

 

The Alzheimer’s Society is the chosen charity of the group's Healthcare division and has raised just under £320,000 since 2015.
