12 April 2022 Fundraising

Stonegate Pub

Stonegate Group has announced a corporate fundraising partnership with the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association and MND Scotland, working with the two charities across England, Wales and Scotland. With well-known brands including Slug and Lettuce, Popworld, Be at One and Walkabout, Stonegate Group is the UK’s largest pub company.

The partnership runs across the whole Stonegate estate, including its pubs, bars, venues and head office support teams. Stonegate’s teams will be coming up with imaginative and creative ways of raising money for both charities as well as encouraging customers to get involved.

Sally Light, chief executive of the MND Association, said:

We are absolutely delighted to have been chosen as charity partner for Stonegate Group, along with our close colleagues at MND Scotland. MND is a devastating disease that currently has no cure or effective treatment – we’re working tirelessly to change that through funding and promoting cutting-edge MND research. Alongside supporting people living with MND, their families and carers, we also fund the co-ordination of care through our 22 MND care centres and networks across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The fundraising taking place this year through this partnership will directly help us to keep pushing for vital treatments and a cure. I am incredibly excited to see what we can achieve together.

Simon Longbottom, CEO of Stonegate Group, said:

Our pubs, bars and venues all play a huge part in the communities they operate in, and are brilliant at bringing individuals together for great causes. I am excited to see how creative our teams get in the planning of all the various fundraising initiatives during this partnership. There are many synergies between our company and MND Association, especially its regionality. We are delighted that our teams in Scotland will be working directly with MND Scotland, just as in England and Wales, which means they are able to make further direct impact in their local communities.

The work and support that the MND Association provides is incredible and we are privileged to be able to help them and do our part in raising awareness of this cause.
