They participate in a blood donation drive as part of the company's corporate social responsibility
Going beyond monthly fundraising activities, colleagues at Mint Property Finance have come together to support the NHS Blood and Organ Transplant program.
This month, the Altrincham, Cheshire-based Mint team decided to donate more than just funds, with representatives from across the business volunteering to donate blood to the NHS program.
The initiative was spearheaded by sales and marketing manager Stephen Cunningham (pictured), who has personally supported the organisation over the last three years.
“For those that can, donating blood is one of the most rewarding and easy ways to make a difference,” he said.
“I first donated a couple of years ago, just before the pandemic broke, and found it a very gratifying experience. I donated again in 2021 when I saw that more blood was needed. As I have B+ blood, one of the rarer types and accounting for just 8% of donors, it’s even more important to me to do what I can to support.”
“I’ve made a personal commitment to donate blood annually and was pleased to be joined by members of the Mint Property Finance team in doing so this year,” Cunningham related.
Other charitable organisations supported by Mint Property Finance this year include the Alzheimer’s Society, Ronald McDonald House Charity, and Warrington Youth Club.

Speaking on the corporate social responsibility drive, Andrew Lazare, founder and managing director of Mint Property Finance, stressed that charity is incredibly important to the company.
“While we have ambitious plans for growth, it’s important to us to strive for them with compassion. Our sustained charity drive is just one of the ways in which we’re proud to unite and support the team and worthwhile organisations, with every individual having the opportunity to put forward a cause close to their heart,” Lazare explained.
NHS Blood and Organ Transplant has 25 permanent donor centres across the UK, underpinned by temporary community-run donation centres. Those interested in donating can register online at www.blood.co.uk.
