Daring Bungee Jumpers Help Cancer Research UK

​Our daring colleagues have taken the plunge by completing a heart-stopping bungee jump for charity.

A group of 10 members of the team from our Slough store took part in the thrilling adventure at Bray Lake Watersport Centre in Windsor.

There were more than 50 years between the oldest and youngest jumpers – ranging from 69-year-old shop floor assistant Richard Howton to 18-year-old checkout operator Elizabeth England.

The group raised more than £650 for Cancer Research UK, which is our official nominated charity.

Store manager Tim Howard said: “It was a great day and one that everyone involved thoroughly enjoyed. I didn’t do the jump personally but I have great admiration for all those that did.

“There were a few nerves amongst some of the bungee jumpers before they took part but everyone came off at the end saying how much they had enjoyed the experience.

“It was fantastic to see a good number of fellow colleagues and customers present to cheer on those who did the bungee jump and to be able to raise a good amount of money for Cancer Research UK was fantastic.

“The build-up to the bungee jump, and the day itself, have been enjoyable and it’s created a lot of excitement and a great spirit amongst the team.”

We're proud to have raised more than £500,000 for Cancer Research UK over the last two years and we are continuing to support the charity in 2025.

All the money raised by us over this period has used to help fund vital research by scientists, doctors and nurses in the quest to help beat cancer.
