Macmillan Rose of the Shires Committee
The Committee raises money in Northamptonshire to fund the work of Macmillan Cancer Support. They also assist other local individuals and groups with their fundraising and promote the work of the charity.
Having celebrated it's 30th anniversary in 2019, the committee has now raised over £1 million pounds for Macmillan's cancer care and services in the county with the help and support of local businesses and individuals. All of the money that we currently raise or is donated to us is being used to help fund the building of the new Macmillan Information Centre at Kettering General Hospital and will also fund new medical posts at both of the county's hospitals.
We are always looking for people to join our Committee or to be an occasional helper at events or collections. If you would be interested in finding out more, please call Sally on 07873274514 or email via the 'Contact Us' link.
Fundraising Group/Committee Award
We were thrilled to win the Macmillan Cancer Support award for the Central South West England region for exceptional achievement through teamwork. Many thanks to all who have helped us along the way by turning up to our events, holding your own events, taking up challenges and making blankets for us to donate to local patients. Sadly the need for funds increases year on year but every penny that we hand over is used for cancer care within the county.
