Peninsula Group, a Manchester-based global employment law and HR consultancy who are partnered with Together for Short Lives, has completed a marathon 24-hour static cycle to raise vital funds for charities across the world on Giving Tuesday.
In the UK, colleagues across Peninsula’s five offices – Belfast, Glasgow, Hinkley, Manchester and London – raised an incredible £7,252.94 for their three chosen charities, Together for Short Lives, Air Ambulances UK and Debra UK.
Peter Done, CEO and Founder at Peninsula Group, said: “This time of year, more than any other, it’s so important to do whatever we can to give back, so it was wonderful to see Peninsula Group employees coming together across the globe to raise money and support our incredible charity partners. ”
Colleagues from Together for Short Lives and local hospices headed to the offices to cheer them on, take part in the cycle and host a range of games to raise further funds as part of Peninsula’s Global Day of Giving.
Lucy Crisp, Head of Corporate Partnerships at Together for Short Lives, said: “Peninsula’s incredible fundraising will make a huge difference to the UK’s 54 children’s hospices and the seriously ill children and families they support every single day. We’re already gearing up for another incredible year with Peninsula Group in 2025 and can’t wait to see what we achieve together next!”
Peninsula’s partnership with Together for Short Lives began in April 2024 aiming to raise £3 million in three years for three different charities.
Next year, colleagues from Peninsula will swap their cycling shorts for trainers to take part in the iconic London Marathon for the three charities they are partnered with.
