Working to improve people's health and wellbeing
Brother France is particularly committed to improving the health and wellbeing of its community.
They support 'A chacun son Everest' ('To Each their own Everest') - a charity that helps children suffering from cancer or leukaemia, and women in remission from breast cancer - to regain their confidence and enjoy a new start in life. They also contribute to 'Parrains par Mille' - which provides emotional and educational assistance to vulnerable children and families -and 'Si on rêvait' (If We Dreamed), which helps sick children rebuild their school, emotional and social lives.
Through its commitment to the French Parasports Federation’s ongoing collection of plastic caps for "Les bouchons de l'Espoir", Brother raises funds to provide disabled people with the adapted equipment they need for their daily activities and high-level sports.
Helping fight cancer worldwide
Brother promotes participation in charity events worldwide to support the global fight against cancer. Named 'The Golden Ring Project', our initiative not only inspires employees to take part in fundraising activities, it also creates a feeling of unity and shared purpose on a global scale.
In the UK, a team took part in the Heaton Park 5k and 10k runs to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support while, in France, Brother employees gather annually to take part in races organised by Odyssea, a charity which funds the research and prevention of breast cancer.
In Norway, Brother supports GoldenChild - a charity that raises awareness of childhood cancer, and to raises funds for cancer research and the provision of support for children with cancer.
In 2020 - in recognition of its long-running cancer awareness work - Brother received the Japan Cancer Society award, which is given to organisations who have made outstanding achievements in cancer awareness and prevention activities.
And, in 2021 , the Brother International Europe team took part the global charity event "Relay For Life" in which teams walk in relay for 24 hours to raise awareness and vital funds for their national cancer research charities.
The initiatives mentioned here are just a small number of the charity activities that Brother supports. Our community partnerships large and small are hugely varied and reflect the personalities of our offices across Europe - and we are truly proud of the passion, creativity and compassion that our colleagues show in support of so many good causes.
