Macmillan currently works with around 100 corporate partners|, who last year raised over £16 million for us. But working with corporate partners isn’t just about fundraising. It’s a way for Macmillan to share expertise and develop new services for people affected by cancer.
Corporate partners provide a fantastic way to promote our work to millions of people through staff and customer channels. Being able to include quotes and case studies through our partners’ intranets, websites, staff and customer magazines and social media is invaluable to us.
We are also asked to invite professionals to attend events and we feel it is important you know how much you inspire our corporate partners staff and customers – so thank you for volunteering your time.
We’ve outlined the partners we are working with to provide a direct service for people living with and affected by cancer. We have included contact details - please do share these with any patients, their family and friends who would benefit from them.

Macmillan and Boots
We’re now in the third year of our partnership with Boots UK|, and Boots colleagues have already raised an amazing £4.4m for Macmillan in the first two years. We're working together to help deliver more ways for people affected by cancer to get information and support on the high street, in local communities and online.

Together Boots and Macmillan have developed bespoke training to create a new role – the Boots Macmillan Information Pharmacist|. The training is currently being rolled out and we aim to have 250 trained BMIPs in store from September. Boots Macmillan Information Pharmacists are there for all customers affected by cancer, and will be on hand in some Boots stores to help connect people to cancer information services and experts in their local community and signpost them to wider Macmillan services.
We are also training No7 advisors to provide expertise and beauty guidance to minimise the visible side effects of cancer treatment and hope to launch this service in early 2013.
As well as in store information and support Boots colleagues have been involved in a variety of volunteering activities. If you have volunteering needs or require some help with maximising your employee volunteering opportunities, please contact Kate Lovesey, Corporate Volunteering Manager (RBS and Boots Partnership) on 020 7091 2086 or email klovesey@macmillan.org.uk|.
