About Charity

Charity and community is very important to Coors. In 2007 we formed a corporate partnership with a national charity, to enable all employees across the UK to get behind one cause.

Following an employee vote, Mencap were chosen to be our corporate charity for 2007. We are very excited about this partnership - it provides us with the opportunity to raise money for a great cause and have a lot of fun in the process!

Mencap is the UK's leading learning disability charity working with people with a learning disability and their families and carers. They fight for equal rights, campaign for greater opportunities and challenge attitudes and prejudice.

In selecting a charity to partner, it was important to choose a charity that was aligned to our business and allowed all our employees to get involved. Mencap fitted this bill perfectly - sociability is a key element to Coors' business and our partnership will highlight the importance of social inclusion.

Our partnership with Mencap officially kicked-off in March with a 'Wear it Red' day which was embraced by employees across all our sites, and where valuable funds were raised. A calendar of activities is currently being created that will be both fun and engaging and allow all employees the opportunity to raise even more money for a fantastic cause!
