Throughout the year, our fundraising efforts supported a range of incredible causes. We donated an outstanding £17,500 for Mahdlo Youth Zone, a state-of-the-art youth charity in the heart of Oldham that provides opportunities, activities and vital support for young people aged 8-19. Knowing that our contribution helps create safe spaces and brighter futures for local young people makes this amount even more meaningful.

Through employee led initiatives and company wide donations, we contributed over £15,500 to Bury Hospice, Dr. Kershaw’s Hospice, and several cancer charities collectively, organisations close to all our hearts and some of which we are patrons. These charities provide invaluable care and compassion to patients and families when they need it most.

We rounded off the year by embracing the true spirit of the festive season. Our support for the Cash for Kids Mission Christmas appeal helped ensure that children across our region woke up to a gift on Christmas morning. From donating presents to taking part in our annual Christmas Jumper Day, our team came together to provide vital support to children and families facing poverty, abuse, neglect and life-limiting illnesses.

As we move into 2026, our commitment to raising funds, awareness and hope for these incredible causes is stronger than ever. Here’s to another year of making a difference.

What was the Challenge?

To collectively run, walk or cycle a minimum of 1,019 miles, the distance from Oldham to Treviso, Italy, over the course of two weeks.

What do Alzheimer’s Society do?

Alzheimer’s Society are the UK’s leading care and research dementia charity. They campaign for change, fund research to find a cure and support people living with dementia today. It is a cause which is close to many of our employee’s hearts and we are proud to do our bit to help them in their important work.

How did we get on?

After two weeks of braving the bitter cold Northern weather, Team Ribble managed to collectively run, walk and cycle over 1,823 miles (804 more miles than the original target) and raise a whopping £1,020. Prior to the Challenge starting, Ribble Packaging pledged it would match whatever its employees managed to raise. Therefore, the grand total of money raised for Alzheimer’s Society was…  £2,040!

We would like to give a huge pat on the back to everyone who took part in the challenge and thank anyone who has generously donated.
