After a year of fundraising, Ideal Heating has has announced that it has reached a major charitable milestone after surpassing £300,000 in funds raised for Macmillan Cancer Support. The achievement marks years of collective fundraising by colleagues across the business and sister companies within Groupe Atlantic in the UK.

Since the start of its partnership with the charity in 2018, colleagues have raised money for Macmillan through sponsored challenges, bake sales and other events.

To recognise the milestone, Ideal Heating welcomed Macmillan’s relationship fundraising manager, Laura Holohan-Keith, to its Hull headquarters, where she presented a framed certificate to acknowledge the team’s dedication and generosity.

Speaking at the event, Laura said: “We cannot thank everyone at Ideal Heating enough for their absolutely amazing support since 2018. We’re here to ensure everyone living with cancer has access to the support they need, from our Macmillan Information Centres to our Support Line and our professionals offering specialist care. We can only continue this vital work with support from incredible partners like Ideal Heating.”

Alongside its support for Macmillan, as the company’s chosen corporate charity, Ideal Heating employees have continued to raise funds for a broader range of local and national good causes, including initiatives such as BBC Children in Need and Doorstep Elves, an initiative run by Hull and East Yorkshire (HEY) Children’s University.

In February 2026, Ideal will support HEY Children’s University with a trawling experience for pupils from Griffin Primary School. The day will give children the opportunity to learn about Hull’s maritime heritage by exploring the city’s trawling history, interviewing members of the public, and taking part in a maritime-themed walking tour.

Colleagues have also contributed to the Macmillan total through a staff boiler purchase scheme, where team members can buy Ideal Heating products at a discounted rate, with the difference donated directly to the charity.

Miriam Moore, HR director (designate) at Ideal Heating, said: “Reaching this £300,000 milestone is a fantastic achievement and a real reflection of the generosity and community spirit within our business. We’re proud to support causes that make a huge difference, both locally and nationally, to peoples’ lives, and I want to thank every colleague who has taken part in fundraising or volunteering.”
