Over the last 20 years we have made significant donations to large, multinational charities like Water Aid, British Red Cross and Just one Ocean as well as smaller local ones with connections to our staff and their families like LOROS - a hospice near us in Leicester, Coalville Stroke Club and Crohn's & Colitis UK.
We don’t normally talk about this sort of activity as we do it to support the charities, not for our benefit. However, we have been asked if we are doing anything to support the NHS during this critical time. Our operational skills are not what is needed right now but we are working with HelpForce, a charity linked to the NHS, donating clothes and nightwear to both patients and key workers at various hospitals across the country.
"Dear Hannah,
I hope you, your family and colleagues have been able to stay safe and well over the last few months. I wanted to personally thank you for the generous support you gave Helpforce and the NHS during the COVID crisis. Your generosity enabled us to provide so much comfort to patients and staff on the frontline.
It was a pleasure to work with you, and the many individuals and organisations who stepped up to do their bit for our NHS and local communities. By giving through Helpforce Assist we could direct your generosity to the places where need was greatest. The attached summary shows you the huge team and the collective effort you have been part of.
With very best wishes and sincere thanks,
Mark Lever | CEO of Helpforce"
