My Roadchef Locations Journey Planner About us Charity Proud charity partner of Cancer Research UK The joy of giving something back, we love it, our teams love it and we’re sure our customers love to do it too! We place great value on being a caring company and charity is an essential part of this. Our passionate teams are given the opportunity to vote for our charity partner every 3 years. In the last 2 votes our current partner Cancer Research UK has received overwhelming support. That passion has been matched with action and since 2018 we’ve raised over £3m. We’re determined to build on our momentum and this year all the team at Roadchef have a New Year’s Resolution, we’ll all be aiming to raise £100 each. With these efforts, plus some exciting big events on the way we're looking forward to our total shooting up even further. Ready, set, action - our fundraising heroes From marathons, three peak challenges, coast to coast walks, braving the shave, to fancy dress days and bake offs - we encourage our teams to get involved in any way they can and that will also bring them a bit of joy too. It’s fair to say they are more than up for the challenge! Famous fundraising from recent times For over 10 years now we’ve run our annual golf day and a separate outdoor pursuits day. These events are well supported with many of our business and supply partners joining us to enjoy a day of golfing on a prestigious course, or activities like quad biking and clay pigeon shooting on the pursuits day. As well as a great day out, these events are crucial fundraising events, with up to £27,000 raised every year for our charity partner. In 2019 team RoadChef took on the Jurassic Coast challenge. Many ‘stepped forward’ by walking distances of 25 and 50kms, whilst we had one team member going the full distance of 100kms. These efforts all contributed to raising an incredible £13,786. About Us Sustainability Our Customers Our Teams Innovation Charity Award winning efforts We're the proud winner at this year's Business Charity Awards for Outstanding Partnership in the Charity partnership - sport, travel & leisure category. It's so wonderful to be recognised for the amazing work our teams do to raise money for our charity partners Cancer Research UK. With exciting plans in the pipeline we’re looking forward to another great year of raising money and awareness for this incredibly worthy cause. Our recent efforts were also recognised by Cancer Research UK as we were named ‘Corporate Fundraising Team of the Year’ at their Flame of Hope awards ceremony. The charity, also named Mike Jackson, Director of Supply Chain Management and Head of Charity at Roadchef as ‘Corporate Charity Champion of the Year 2020’, for his outstanding fundraising achievements and personally raising over £230,000 for the cause by completing the Jurassic Coast Challenge, the Shine Night Walk and the Lake District 10 Peak Challenge, among others. What inspires our Head of Charity? As with many business relationships, although in my opinion, it's down to the people and their ability to work hand in hand to develop the relationship, but with a Charity Partnership it is slightly different and in this instance it's down to your personal feelings. With CRUK it strikes a chord for me: having lost dad in 2015 to Prostate Cancer, mum to cancer of the Oesophagus in 2018, my father in law to Pancreatic Cancer just last year and having my own personal battle, it's a no brainer - for as long as I am able I will continue to challenge myself to help to raise money to end the heartache people go through when faced with this disease. Say hello to Bertie! We have some paw-some news.
