Mace has erected two giant ‘Macetaches’ on South Bank Tower in support of independent global charity Movember. The largest of the two colourful additions is 10m x 2m, with the other at 4.8m x 1.55m.
The Movember charity campaign helps raise vital funds and awareness for prostate and testicular cancer and mental health. Mace has supported the campaign for the last five years and this year activities are taking place at Mace project sites around the world in an effort to raise £25,000. If this target is achieved, match funding of £10,000 will be given by the Mace Foundation, a charitable trust set up to increase the support Mace offers to charities and not-for-profit organisations. Last year Mace raised £21,500.
Mace’s Chief Operating Officer for Construction, Gareth Lewis said: “This is the fifth year that we have supported Movember and I am so impressed by the sheer level of enthusiasm from across our sites to come up with imaginative ideas to raise awareness and the all-important funds.”
George Kyriacou from CIT who are developing South Bank Tower said: “We are happy that our iconic South Bank Tower development, with its prominent location on London’s skyline, can play its part in fundraising for such an excellent cause.”
Mace is currently providing construction delivery services to transform the existing 31-storey mixed-use South Bank Tower by introducing eleven additional floors with 199 high-end luxury apartments, commercial office and retail units.
