This year, Organic are doubly delighted to have once again teamed up with local Charity, East Lancashire Hospice. As well as being the headline sponsor for the second year running, Organic Money are this year taking part in the Corporate Challenge to raise as much money as possible.
The Corporate Challenge raises valuable funds to provide care for local people, who are coping with a life-limiting illness at a time when they need it most.
All businesses taking part are given £50 and set the challenge to turn it into as much as they can within a six-month period, running from April 1st until September 30th 2018.
Chris Ridehalgh, Director at Organic said: “It’s an honour to be able to support the Corporate Challenge for a second consecutive year.
I was amazed at how much money was raised by the businesses who took part last year, a fantastic £34,000.
Being in the insurance business, a lot of what we do is about helping people prepare and cope financially with difficult situations. We can’t do the caring part, but East Lancashire Hospice can.
Mark Chadwick, Mortgage and Lending Advisor at Organic Money said: “We’re really looking forward to participating in the Corporate Challenge this year and not only helping to raise as much money as possible for the charity but also generating a sense of togetherness amongst employees.
A couple of members of the Organic team have experienced first-hand with their immediate family the amazing care that East Lancashire Hospice provides. It has always been our aim to help the hospice in some way, as a small thank you for the individual and family support that was provided by the charity.
There are lots of different fundraising ideas flying around the office including, corporate sports day, office tuck shop, race night and a man-vs-food event.”
