The wonderful people who toil at LP Food at Work have nominated Bowel Cancer UK as the Charity that they would like us to support this year.
As a result of this we are going to hold loads of exciting activities. We will be raising as much money as possible for Bowel Cancer UK throughout 2019.
We are starting with money taken from selling Pancakes at a number of our sites on Shrove Tuesday.
Now, here is a sneak peek of a tasty pancake or two to tantilise those taste buds and get you spending !
In addition LP Food at Work will also match funds raised by individual employees.
So why did our people choose Bowel Cancer UK ?
