Magna team rise to the challenge!

At Magna Housing Association, staff and bosses are really getting behind Dorset County Hospital’s mammography appeal.

They have pledged to get up to the £1,000 mark by holding various fundraising events at their offices in Poundbury Road, Dorchester, and match funding from charity budgets.

“Wonderful brilliant and inspiring news,” said a delighted Wendy Nightingale, Chair of the DCH Appeal

 Magna owns and manages more than 6,000 homes and employs around 200 staff.

 Call centre manager Tracey Clark said the mammography appeal was a cause to which everyone could relate.

“We raised £251.44 from a cake sale and it was very well supported,” she said. “We all feel this is an important campaign – it affects us and our residents across West Dorset. “

After the cake sale, Magna director David Aldwinckle said he would make it up to £500, which prompted more fundraising ideas from staff to get up to the £1,000 mark.

Tracey and her colleagues are now planning to hold a breakfast baps morning for staff and a lunchtime clothes sale.

 The appeal for new digital mammography equipment at Dorchester’s Dorset County Hospital was boosted by £251.44 after the MHA cake sale on Friday.

 Call centre manager Tracey Clark said the event was well supported by staff across Hollands and Naden.
