Corporate Charities
In December each year, we vote for a local charity to support in the next year. We set a financial target and also collect and donate practical items which are distributed by the charity. Whether it’s a Sky Dive, Fun Run or an event like Tough Mudder, everyone works together to achieve the target.
Medequip4kids - 2023
We will support Medequip4kids throughout 2023. MedEquip4Kids provides equipment that is not available from limited NHS resources to improve the health of babies and children in the UK. They also deliver workshops in schools to support children's mental health because they value all aspects of children's wellbeing. Learn more about Medequip4kids at https://www.medequip4kids.org.uk/
We are well underway with fundraising for our £2,500 target for 2023 having participated in the Manchester Marathon, the Medequip4kids Duck race, and flowery shirt day. There are many more events planned for this year. You can read all the updates and donate here. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/core-talent2023
