Just IT Training and Recruitment announce supported Charity for 2012.
Just IT Training and Recruitment are delighted to announce that Macmillan Cancer Support has been chosen by the employees of Just IT to be our supported charity for 2012. Everyone at Just IT is really looking forward to working closely with Macmillan to raise awareness and money for a great cause.
More news on fundraising activities to come…
Macmillan Cancer Support aims to reach and improve the lives of everyone living with cancer. As treatments improve, more and more people are living with cancer in their daily lives. This means they need more than medical help, they also need practical, emotional and financial support.
We are the nurses and therapists helping you through treatment. The experts on the end of the phone. The advisers telling you which benefits you’re entitled to. The volunteers giving you a hand with the everyday things. The campaigners improving cancer care. The community supporting you online, any time.

The last 6months of 2011 saw Just IT partnered with Shelterbox, a Disaster Relief Charity focused on providing emergency shelter and lifesaving supplies for families around the world who are affected by disasters.

From August to December 2011 Just IT raised over £950 for Shelterbox. This was a great effort from all concerned; our employees took part in a range of internal and external fundraising activities including:
- The Barcelona Triathlon (Olympic Size!!) -
Robin Booth, Natasha Downes and Leo Fischer completed a 1 mile swim (in the SEA!!), 33k cycle ride and after all that a 10k run!!
Men’s Health – “Survival of the Fittest” –
The fit (and not-so-fit!) volunteers completed a 10k obstacle course through London!
Sharing our profit:
Just IT donated money based on individual’s performance within the business. This inspired our employees to work that little bit harder to raise some cash for Shelter box.
Here at Just IT we are proud to be involved with such great charities, and we are grateful to all those who have donated money.
