MacBlair has announced that its colleagues had raised more than £17,000 (€19,400) for charity partners AWARE NI, which supports individuals experiencing depression and anxiety, and the Community Rescue Service.
MacBlair has worked with both AWARE NI and Community Rescue Service since 2022. The Community Rescue Service is a volunteer-led search and rescue organisation that assists the Police Service of Northern Ireland in locating high-risk missing persons. MacBlair colleagues have supported the charity through events such as charity cycles, golf days, and family fun days, helping raise vital funds for life-saving equipment and operational costs.
MacBlair selected AWARE NI as a charity partner inresponse to the growing impact of poor mental health across society. In addition to fundraising, MacBlair regularly invites representatives from AWARE NI to attend company-wide events, where they speak with colleagues and customers about mental health and wellbeing.
