May 2024 Charity Giveaway

May 2024 Charity Giveaway

In December 2023, we organised a prize draw that rewarded two lucky winners with £250 each and included a charitable donation of £500. After tallying the votes, Pilgrim’s Hospices emerged as the charity with the most nominations. To honour this choice, we presented a cheque for £500 to one of their local representatives.

Fast forward six months, and we have decided to extend our charitable efforts by donating an additional £250 to another deserving charity.

The Christmas draw saw participation from over 100 different charities, each with a worthy cause. To streamline our selection process this time, we chose to focus on the next ten most-nominated charities from the original list.

To determine the recipient of our £250 donation, we decided to engage our Facebook community, asking them to vote for their preferred charity from this shortlist.

Here are the ten most nominated charities, presented in no order:

Air Ambulance Service: This vital service provides emergency medical care and transportation, often making the difference between life and death for patients in critical conditions.

British Heart Foundation: Dedicated to fighting heart disease, this foundation funds research, provides support for patients, and promotes heart health awareness across the UK.
