Biogen UK & Ireland

In September, Biogen colleagues across the UK and Ireland rolled up their sleeves and dedicated their time and energy to various volunteering initiatives as part of our global Care Deeply Day. Our amazing team in Ireland gathered at Dun Laoghaire Harbour for a litter-picking challenge. Together, they managed to clean up over 15kg of litter. In the UK, 90 passionate employees supported four conservation based projects in our local community. Their hard work and dedication truly embodied our commitment to making a positive impact. Check out some of the highlights in the photos below and see how we united to make a difference! #CaringDeeply #Volunteering #Community #Biogen 

At Biogen, we are committed to embodying our DE&I values, and strive to have a welcoming and inclusive environment for all. One of the key factors in this is the work of our DE&I Employee Resource Group, which helps us in fostering a sense of community through different events and activities. To celebrate Black History Month, we are thrilled to be welcoming Haddy Ndure a leading news anchor, presenter and journalist, who is a pioneering voice amongst young Africans and increasing the representation of African people. We look forward to hearing her thoughts on the significance of Black History Month and how to break down stereotypes which still exist in today's society. Stay tuned to hear more about our event with Haddy! #BiogenUKandIreland #Community #DEI #BlackHistoryMonth #Inclusion 

At Biogen, we believe in the power of giving back and making a positive impact in our communities. On September 20th, we will be celebrating Care Deeply Day, a special day dedicated to volunteering and showing our commitment to making a difference. Whether it's lending a hand at a local project, participating in environmental clean-ups, or supporting various community projects, our team will be out there, embodying our core value of caring deeply. Join us in celebrating this day by sharing your own volunteering stories and experiences! #CareDeeply #Volunteering #Community #BiogenUKandIreland

August is SMA Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) and the incredible strength of those affected by it. At Biogen, we are committed to advancing research, raising awareness, and supporting the SMA community. Together, working with those impacted by SMA, advocacy groups, scientists, and the healthcare community we look to drive progress and hope for a brighter future for all those impacted by SMA. #BiogenUKandIreland #SMAawarenessmonth

We are proud to reflect on the activities coordinated by our ReachOUT Employee Resource Network (ERN) to recognise Pride Month. UKI colleagues have participated in a Pride themed pub quiz, coffee morning and pride themed lunch. Colleagues also shared what Pride Month means to them on our visual mural. ReachOUT is an integral part of our culture and their work supports us in fostering a best-in-class workplace for LGBTQ employees through the execution of inclusive programming, events, and advocacy all year round.  #BiogenUKandIreland #PrideMonth

🌟 A Day of Connection and Community 🌟 Biogen colleagues from across the UK and Ireland recently came together for a full day dedicated to fostering connections, building a sense of community, and taking a well-deserved break from our usual day-day roles. Our Summer Site Wide event featured exciting workshops and insightful presentations. But one of the highlights was our commitment to giving back to the community. This year, we were thrilled to support Shoe Aid, an incredible organisation focused on reducing footwear poverty, minimising footwear waste, and protecting our environment. Check out some of our colleagues' creative designs in the photos below! 👟🎨 #BiogenUKandIreland #CaringDeeply

Last month, our colleagues in Ireland took part in the Darkness into Light walk, raising vital funds for Pieta a charity dedicated to offering free, accessible support to those affected by suicide and self-harm. Setting off at 4:15am, they walked together and collectively raised over €300 with Biogen matched funding. Well done to all those who took part.    #BiogenUKandIreland #CaringDeeply

Biogen, UK and Ireland VP and General Manager Kylie Bromley has recently taken on the role of Chair of the BioIndustry Association (BIA)’s Rare Disease Industry Group (RDIG). RDIG represents a group of innovative biopharmaceutical companies that specialise in treatments for rare and ultra-rare diseases. Over the coming months as RDIG Chair, Kylie will partner with NHS England, NICE, MHRA and Government stakeholders, as well as the patient and clinical community. Whilst significant progress has been made, it remains a very challenging environment to bring a rare or ultra-rare medicine to people living with these conditions. Collaboration is key to ensuring people living with a rare disease in the UK are not left behind.   #BiogenUKandIreland #RareDisease #RDIG #BIA

At Biogen, we are dedicated to fostering a culture of inclusion and belonging that mirrors the diverse communities we serve. Our Employee Resource Networks (ERN) are essential in cultivating this inclusive environment. In recognition of Pride Month, our ReachOUT ERN is hosting various events for employees across the UK and Ireland. This year, our global theme is: Be Be You Be Proud Be Together Watch this space for more information about the events taking place across the business. #BiogenUKandIreland #PrideMonth
