Moores launches ‘Your Cause, Your Choice’ to support employee-led charity fundraising
The ‘Your Cause, Your Choice’ scheme replaces the company’s traditional ‘Charity of the Year’ approach and is designed to give employees a stronger voice in deciding which causes to support,while also supporting them with their own fundraising efforts. Each quarter, theMoores charity committee will donate £500 to a selection of employee-backed causes. Staff are invited to submit applications, which are then reviewed and shortlisted by the committee. The first round of applications was completed in early September, with
M
two members of theMoores Operations team receiving funding support. Senior Operations Manager, Laura Horne, hiked a marathon in a single day across the Cotswolds on 13th September in aid of CoppaFeel!, the breast cancer awareness charity focusing on the early detection of breast cancer among young people. Laura successfully raised over £1,800 on her JustGiving page and is expected to reach £2,000 once all donations are tallied.
Meanwhile, Project Manager, Gary Robson, has completed an eight-day expedition to summit Mount Kilimanjaro. Gary raised over £650 on his JustGiving page, for the International Aid for the Protection &Welfare of Animals (IAPWA), an organisation dedicated to the care and protection of animals in need around the world.
Michael Barratt, CEO atMoores adds: “Your Cause, Your Choice is all
about empowering our team to support the charities closest to their hearts.We’re proud to have backed Laura and Gary in their incredible efforts and look forward to seeing the positive impact of this new approach as more colleagues put their causes forward.” The new programme will offer fresh opportunities each quarter for
Moores employees to apply for funding towards their chosen causes. For more information visit the website.

WORKTOP FABRICATORS FEDERATION
WFF Partners with Asthma + Lung UK to Support Lung Health in the worktop fabrication industry
the nation’s leading lung health charity. This collaboration aims to introduceWFFmembers to thewide range of expert advice, support services, and health resources that the charity provides. Asthma + Lung UK is dedicated to fighting for the 1 in 5 people in the
T
UK who will develop a lung condition during their lifetime. For those working in the worktop fabrication industry, the risk can be higher due to potential exposure to hazardous substances – especially when Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) is not worn or used correctly. Fabricators can be particularly vulnerable to developing conditions such as occupational asthma, COPD, and pneumoconiosis. To help raise awareness and improve access to reliable information,
handyQR codes have been created, linking directly to resources about symptoms, tests, and treatments. These also provide practical advice on workplace health, and connections to support groups and condition-specific information. Nigel Fletcher, WFFOperations Director, commented: “We’re delighted to partner with Asthma + Lung UK, an organisation that is very close to our hearts. TheWorktop Fabricators Forum was set up to support those working in the stone industry, and we are always striving to make the industry safer. We acknowledge that dust poses amajor issue in this sector, and Asthma + Lung UK work tirelessly to provide not only support to those affected, but also funds studies into how lung conditions are prevented, diagnosed, and treated.”
