Giving back
At Drake & Morgan, we are proud to be partnered with the amazing charity Maggie’s, which supports people living with cancer across their 21 Centres in the UK & abroad. We’re thrilled to have raised over £100k for this incredible charity in 2023, and thanks to your support, we’ve already surpassed that total in 2024, raising over £119k so far
Alongside Maggie’s, we’re really pleased to be partnered with the digital charity box Pennies who allow us to give our wonderful customers a way to join in the fundraising too.
A little more info
Every year, over 300,000 people are diagnosed with cancer in the UK, facing tough questions, exhausting treatment & difficult emotions. These challenges affect not only those with cancer, but their family and friends, too. Built in the grounds of NHS cancer hospitals, Maggie’s Centres are places with professional staff on hand to offer support. With the kitchen table at the heart of each Centre, they are a place where people can sit and chat, or have some time out over a quiet cup of tea. This philosophy mirrors the thinking of our bars & restaurants & therefore we felt it’s a natural fit between us in addition to Maggie’s being a fantastic charity.
The digital charity box
Pennies is the digital upgrade of the traditional charity box, designed to fit with our increasingly cashless lifestyles. You can give your small change a big purpose by donating a few pence to Maggie’s when paying by card at D&M – it’s as simple as a single press of a button to ‘top-up’ your bill & donate £1. Every penny goes to charity: 90% goes to Maggie’s (registered charity no. SCO24414) & 10% goes to Pennies (registered charity no. 1122489) which really makes your digital pennies count!
