Supporting Communities in Our Centenary Year
In our Centenary Year, we are proud to support five incredible charities dedicated to tackling homelessness and providing cancer support across the UK. Each reflects our long-standing commitment to helping people and communities thrive:
-
Maggie’s Cancer Support – Offering practical, emotional, and social support to people with cancer and their families across the UK.
-
Rock Trust – Supporting young people affected by homelessness in Edinburgh and the East of Scotland.
-
Kindness Homeless Street Team – Providing vital assistance to the homeless community across the Glasgow area.
-
Centrepoint – Helping homeless young people across 15 boroughs in London, as well as in Sunderland, Manchester, Bradford, and Barnsley.
-
1625 Independent People – Supporting young people at risk of homelessness in Bristol and South Gloucestershire.
Together with our colleagues, partners, and supporters, we are working towards our goal of raising £100,000 for these charities as part of our Centenary celebrations — making a meaningful difference to those who need it most.
Mactaggart & Mickel Centenary Tartan
As part of our Centenary celebrations, we partnered with the Glasgow School of Art (GSA) on the Mactaggart & Mickel Centenary Tartan Project, giving BA (Hons) Textile Design students a unique live project opportunity. Students were invited to create digital tartan designs inspired by our values, including cultural heritage, legacy, community, and 100 years of placemaking.
The creativity and standard of entries were exceptional, with each design offering a fresh take on traditional tartan. Claire Fowler, the winning designer, stood out with a design that captured the spirit of the project. Using Mac Mic’s brand colours as a base, Claire introduced additional tones and a modern Chevron pattern, giving the tartan a contemporary twist while reflecting the company’s ethos and forward-looking outlook.
