Pure's Charity of the Year
Each year, the Pure Lubrication team chooses a charity close to our hearts to support. Giving back to the community is a big part of who we are. We raise funds, spread awareness, and get hands-on to make a difference.
2026 Chosen Charity of the Year: My Name’5 Doddie Foundation
In 2026, we are proud to be supporting My Name’5 Doddie Foundation as our chosen charity of the year. Founded by the late Scottish rugby legend Doddie Weir OBE, the foundation is dedicated to transforming the outlook for people living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) by funding pioneering research and supporting those affected by the condition.
Their mission is clear – to accelerate meaningful scientific breakthroughs while improving quality of life for individuals and families facing MND. Through investment in world-leading research, education and practical support, the foundation brings hope, innovation and much-needed momentum to the fight against this devastating disease.
Why Pure Lubrication Is Supporting My Name’5 Doddie Foundation
Doddie Weir’s bravery, positivity, and determination in the face of MND touched people across the country, including many of us here at Pure Lubrication. His legacy continues to inspire and the foundation’s commitment to driving change resonates strongly with our own values of resilience, community and making a meaningful positive impact.
Supporting My Name’5 Doddie Foundation gives us the opportunity to contribute to vital research while helping families affected by MND access the care, equipment and resources they need. We’re proud to stand behind a charity that brings together science, compassion and the spirit Doddie himself was known for.
Team Involvement and Fundraising Plans
Throughout 2026, our team will be taking part in a calendar of fundraising activities to raise awareness and support the foundation’s life-changing work. Expect to see us tackling challenges, hosting events and getting creative with ways to generate donations.
We’ll be sharing updates, photos and progress across our social channels, so you can follow the journey every step of the way.
We’re also encouraging our customers, suppliers and partners to get involved where they can. Whether that’s donating, joining us at an event or simply spreading the word, every contribution makes a difference.
Together, we can help push forward the search for a cure and support those living with MND today.

Charities we have supported in previous years
2025:
In 2025 we supported Cash for Kids, , helping to make a meaningful difference to children and families across our local communities. As a business rooted in long-term relationships and responsible growth, giving back is an important part of who we are. Through fundraising initiatives and team involvement throughout the year, we’re committed to playing our part in ensuring more children have access to the support, experiences and opportunities they deserve.
2024:
In 2024 we supported Trees for Life, an ambitious charity on a mission to restore the Caledonian Forest in the Scottish Highlands. This collaboration represented a significant step forward in Pure Lubrication’s commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability, aligning with our overarching goal of contributing positively to the planet.
2022/2023:
Everyone at Pure were so happy to have raised for a charity that is so dear to many of their hearts. Throughout 2022 and 2023, we had a busy time fundraising; we had race nights, golf days, sponsored runs, coffee mornings and step challenges.
During 2022 and 2023 we raised £15,000 for Breast Cancer Now and we are so happy we could help this amazing charity over those 2 years!
2021:
The Trussell Trust was chosen by the team in 2021, as their chosen charity of the year. Although it was a year of COVID-19, this didn’t stop our team from fundraising for this amazing charity. We collectively raised £3485!
Simon and Irene took on the challenge to ‘virtually’ climb well-known mountains – Everest and Ben Nevis. Andrew and his son Callum climbed 11 Munro’s on the Cuillin Ridge over 4 days, climbing a combined height of 10,503 metres or 34,459 feet, (Mount Everest is 8,849 metres or 29,032 feet!!).
2020:
In 2020, the team decided to support Combat Stress, the UK’s leading mental health charity for veterans. Because Craig, one of our Lubrication Engineers, is an Army Reserve, he was passionate about this charity. Some of the fundraising activities that the team undertook in 2020 was a triathlon, Corryvrekan swim, team squat challenge and Craig’s 50-mile run challenge.
