Ryan Lemon, who is the head of region for M&S in Northern Ireland, is pleased with how the campaign is being supported.

“I’m delighted to be joining so many employees in getting involved in this summer’s charity challenge. Whether it’s planning fundraising in-store, or sponsoring participants, there is a chance for everyone to be involved,” he said.

Head of fundraising and communication at Action Cancer, Dougie King, has praised the M&S staff for the fundraising they have carried out.

“The increasing number of people receiving a cancer diagnosis in Northern Ireland means that Action Cancer continues to expand its counselling and therapeutic support services, so that families can have timely and appropriate support. We are therefore very appreciative and delighted that M&S staff are ensuring that these essential services are made available to existing and new clients in the months to come,” Mr King said.
