STORTEC are proud to share that ‘WE ARE IN!’ and taking part in the ‘Corporate Challenge’, raising vital funds for Pendleside Hospice!
Pendleside Hospice cares for local people in the Burnley and Pendle area who are diagnosed with any life limiting illness, their families and carers. Care is provided free of charge by their in-patient unit, day service and outpatients, family support and hospice at home team. The cost of providing care is almost £5.5m this year alone. A grant from the NHS provides a little over £1m to their running costs and as a registered charity Pendleside must raise over £4.5m from fundraising events, sponsorship and donations annually.
Just think about that for a moment….
With many businesses joining forces and taking part in this fantastic cause, we want to raise as much as we possibly can. No matter how big or small, every penny helps.
STORTEC TEAM members are taking part in the ‘Born Survivor’ challenge designed by Royal Marines Commandos this September in Gisburn. The elite military inspired obstacle course is not for the faint hearted, enduring the muddiest rolling terrain, reinforced with military grade obstacles in the Ribble Valley. We wont just go home with cuts, bruises and aching muscles, every survivor takes home the spoils of war! So, keep your eyes peeled for news on how we did and the photo evidence!
STORTEC are also holding a local quiz night at the Lamb WMC in Barrowford on Wednesday 31st July at 8:00pm for everyone to get involved in and raise further funds. Tickets are £2.00 on the door and there is no pre-sale of tickets.
There will be other opportunities within STORTEC HQ and locally between 1st June and 30th September to build up as many donations as we possibly can. Raffle tickets are also available to purchase.
Please get in touch if you are interested in purchasing raffle tickets. We hope all our clients, supply chain, local businesses, families and friends can all be a part of helping us raise funds for this amazing cause and we will keep you all updated along the way!
