Glasgow Office
Cancer Research Shine Night Walk
Led by Carina McKinney, an Associate in the Glasgow office, DSSR is hosting a 10k night time walk fundraiser for Cancer Research UK. She is leading a group of colleagues to raise as much as possible to help beat cancer by taking part in the Shine Night Walk Glasgow 2024.
The Shine Night Walk is an illuminating night-time event where walkers pass through their city’s famous landmarks as part of a 10k walk. Organised by Cancer Research UK, several similar events take place in cities across the UK.
Great North Run for British Heart Foundation
Senior Site Inspector, Billy Blair, is also leading a fundraiser for the Great North Run 2024.
Billy Blair:
“On Sunday 8th September I will be taking part in the 2024 Great North Run, fulfilling a long held ambition.
“My chosen charity is the British Heart Foundation as my family, like many others, has been directly affected by heart disease.
“The British Heart Foundation funds over half of all non-commercial research into heart and circulatory disease carried out in the U.K. supporting £100m of new projects every year giving adults and children born with heart condition the chance to lead a long and healthy life.
“To help fund this worthwhile charity, I would be grateful for any donation made.”
Harrogate Office
The team in Harrogate has recently supported a charity endeavour led by Phil Proctor who is leading the delivery team which is building a specialised Motor Neurone Disease care centre at Seacroft Hospital, Leeds.
Phil completed a 189-mile cycle challenge, going coast to coast from Morecambe to Scarborough, over the 27th to 28th of June. We are proud to have helped raise £6.8 million to build a specialist MND (Motor Neurone Disease) Care Centre in Leeds, to give people living with MND the best quality of life.
Aiding people living with MND to gain the best experience of life along with the best possible care and support, he has had the privilege of working alongside some of the patients in the design process including Rob, each one are remarkable individuals whose positivity in the face of this terminal disease has been truly inspirational.
Manchester Office
The Manchester office is proud to announce a £1,000 donation to the Alzheimer’s Society, a charity chosen through a staff-driven short-listing process.
This collective decision reflects the team’s commitment to supporting vital causes that resonate with us personally and professionally.
We are honoured to contribute to the Alzheimer’s Society’s mission of improving the lives of those affected by dementia, and we take pride in making a meaningful impact within our
community.
