Civil Nuclear Constabulary raise £9,500 for charity
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the CNC, employees have participated in a series of fundraising activities to support Cancer Research UK (CRUK).
Josie Coakley and Deputy Chief Constable Stephen Martin.
Staff and officers from the Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) voted on the beneficiary charity through a force-wide survey, and so over the last seven months, to mark two decades of service and show support for CRUK, employees have cycled, golfed, baked, and jogged or ran over 4400 miles, almost twice the distance between every CNC site in the UK.
The programme of fundraising activities also saw employees taking part in a beach clean in partnership with the Marine Conservation Society, participating in the Edinburgh Wild Hybrid Challenge, and scaling Mount Snowdon whilst carrying 127kg on a stretcher.
Speaking about the fundraising campaign, Deputy Chief Constable Stephen Martin said: “I am proud of how our organisation has come together in support of CRUK. Staff and officers have organised a range of activities across our sites, and thanks to our collective efforts, we have managed to raise £9,500 for this worthwhile cause.
“This has been a really positive way to demonstrate our commitment to helping others, whilst celebrating and reflecting upon the last 20 years of the CNC. A sincere thank you to everyone who took part or provided sponsorship.”
Josie Coakley, Relationship Manager for CRUK, said: “On behalf of Cancer Research UK, I’d like to thank everyone at Civil Nuclear Constabulary for their fundraising throughout 2025. From cycling challenges to bake sales, teams from across England and Scotland have got involved and raised over £9,500 for life-saving cancer research. This amount of money could fund our team of nine cancer nurses and their amazing work with people affected by cancer for one week.
“Cancer Research UK has been at the heart of the progress that has already seen cancer survival in the UK double in the last 50 years, but we’re not stopping now. Incredible supporters like Civil Nuclear Constabulary are helping us to go further and faster in the fight against the disease.”
