LLW Repository Ltd raised a record 拢9,339 for Charity of the Year, Give Us A Break 2010, after a magnificent response from the workforce.
The charity is raising money to fund a short stay centre in West Cumbria for disabled children and their families, and employees voted to support it as their charity in 2018/19.
A string of fundraising events were initiated and organised by the workforce including a book sale, baking competition, sponsored car wash, Christmas Jumper Day and numerous raffles. LLWR鈥檚 Lead Team also agreed to match-fund 拢2,000 for the charity.
Cath Giel, LLWR鈥檚 Head of Public Affairs, said: 鈥淲e have a fresh chosen charity every year, and the enthusiasm for giving, and for coming up with new ways of fund-raising, shows no sign of diminishing. In fact, the opposite is true.
鈥淢any members of our workforce helped to raise funds for Give Us A Break, and we are grateful to them all, not least our apprentices, whose Christmas Food Market initiative proved a tasty new addition to our fundraising efforts, adding almost 拢700 to our tally, and a few inches to waistlines!鈥�
