Have you heard?!
Our CEO and Founder, Sandra Patel-Stewart, is rising to challenge and completing her first triathlon in aid of Maggie’s Centres.
Maggies is an innovative independent non-profit charity that supports those affected and diagnosed with cancer—offering a calming and welcoming environment where individuals can seek emotional support and advice.
Sandra was introduced to the local charity Maggies Yorkshire which opened in 2019 at Leeds Hospital St James, by Head of Early Talent of NHS Digital, Yasmin Akhter. Feeling inspired by the Maggies Yorkshire ethos, warm feeling, values and drive to make a positive lasting impact on those affected by such a terrible illness, Sandra cemented them as a chosen charity partner of her international recruitment firm Transition Partners.
After showing a keen interest in the charity, sponsoring their yearly orange ball and raising some significant funds, she was appointed as a board member in December alongside a range of diverse influential leaders from across the Yorkshire region.
Now fitness fanatic, Sandra is taking on her biggest challenge yet, capitalising funds for the eco-friendly in the city where she was raised and is home to the company’s HQ.
On Monday the 2nd of May, alongside two others at Tadcaster, Sandra will be put to the ultimate test to leave a lasting, positive legacy on the local community. Sandra has set a target of £2,000 to support all the positive changes Maggie’s Yorkshire is making across the region.
