Each year, Polar Technology employees vote to select a local charity for the company to support, through raising money at various fundraising events. For 2024, the chosen charity is The Hummingbird Centre, a cancer support and therapy centre in Bicester.
The Hummingbird’s goal is to relieve the mental and physical sickness of people suffering with cancer and to offer support services to both them and their loved ones. The centre is a place where it’s guests can feel warmth and support, learn and feel as happy as is possible during their cancer journey.
One of the reasons that Polar Technology employees chose The Hummingbird was the range of services that the centre is able to offer its guests.
Tracy Dewhirst, Marketing Manager for Polar Technology and Chair of the Social Committee, explained the decision to choose The Hummingbird: “When it came to choosing our charity for this year, we wanted to make sure we were supporting a good cause within the local community. By choosing a smaller charity, we knew that we would be able to directly see the difference our donations were making. We’re delighted to be supporting such a worthwhile cause!”
