Some of the areas where EDM can get involved include:

Fundraising: Opportunity to improve internal communication, motivate staff, promote creativity or just have a lot of fun for a good cause.

Campaign support: Employees and corporate partners can help to encourage people to get behind Macmillan campaigns and drive signatures for online petitions.
