On Friday afternoon Manchester Contact Centre staff were out in Manchester City Centre raising funds for Cancer Research. In addition to collecting donations on behalf of the charity, they sold Unity Bands for World Cancer Day which took place on 4 February. 

Check out photos of their efforts below.

The funds raised will go to support over 4,000 scientists, doctors and nurses as well as accelerate progress in the fight against over 200 cancer types.

Earlier in the week, six  Manchester Contact Centre staff members went down to Wood Street Mission which provides help to women and children in need. As shown below, they had a great experience sorting donations and helping out in the community shop and family room.
