People First: Our Charity & Fundraising Efforts
We believe that the success of any business is measured not just by growth, but by the positive impact it creates. At UK Point of Sale, we’re committed to building stronger communities by supporting causes that matter - with our time, resources, and hearts.
Supporting The Christie NHS Foundation Trust
The Christie NHS Foundation Trust is a specialist cancer care center in Manchester, UK, and one of Europe’s leading cancer treatment, research, and education institutions.
We have consistently raised funds for the Christie over the years, along with our other charity efforts, as it is close to the hearts of both the UK Point of Sale founders and many of the employees.
Many of our fundraising events happen annually, such as our Bake-Offs. We intend to keep on fundraising as much as we can and making a positive contribution.
Real Stories, Real Impact
Debra's Three Peaks Challenge
Our Chief Strategy Officer, Debra Jamieson, successfully completed the incredible Spanish Three Peaks Challenge in memory of her father and UK POS co-founder, Bill.
Ahead of the challenge, Debra said ‘It’ll be my biggest challenge to date but nothing to the challenges our loved ones have when being admitted to The Christie’.
Over three days, she climbed the three highest peaks in the Sierra Nevada - each reaching around 3,500 metres, more than twice the height of Ben Nevis. Her inspiring effort helped raise vital funds to support the work of The Christie Charity. We’re proud to celebrate her achievement and the generosity it inspired.

Partnership with TreeApp
We're proud to continue our partnership with Treeapp, a leading global tree planting organisation. As part of this, we're planting a tree for every day of the year.
Climate change is more alarming than ever, and deforestation is one of the main contributors to it. Tree planting is a way of responding to climate change. It helps to restore ecosystems and support biodiversity.
Treeapp’s work spans across four continents. It has a tangible impact on people and the planet, with each project supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
We’re excited to be joining forces with Treeapp and planting trees in order to make a positive impact!
