Leach pledges further support to Forget Me Not Hospice

Posted on 26th Mar 2020

Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice need support now more than ever during these uncertain times. While the hospice continue to provide pioneering care for children with life shortening conditions and their families, they have also opened up their facilities to support the NHS during the COVID-19 crisis.

 

Pancake Day Sale For Forget Me Not

Leach recently featured in a number of local publications including The Yorkshire Post and Business Up North, discussing our ongoing support of Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice and fundraising plans for the future. If you missed the article, you can read it in full here…

Graphic display specialist Leach has announced Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice as its charity of choice for 2020, as the firm continues to support the local cause.

Huddersfield-based Leach has been involved in numerous recent events for the hospice, which included its ‘Day to Donate’ in November, for all companies on the Bradley business park that houses its HQ.

And this year, the firm has pledged to raise a further £10,000 for the charity.

Forget Me Not has delivered pioneering care to children in West Yorkshire with life-shortening conditions – and their families – for 10 years, and it offers help throughout all stages of illness – getting involved as early as during pregnancy in some cases. With the existence of over 400 health conditions which can decrease a child’s life expectancy, the team at Forget-Me-Not provides a solid support network to those affected, from diagnosis onwards.

Leach Are Proud to Support Forget Me Not Childrens Hospice

Commenting on the fundraising efforts, James Lavin, MD at Leach said: “Choosing one charity to help is a very difficult decision to make, as so many of them are deserving of funds. So, we put the decision in the hands of the Leach staff – and although there were many suggestions made, Forget Me Not was the clear favourite!

“It’s a charity that cannot fail to touch people’s hearts, and I’m delighted that we’re getting behind the cause once again – to help families touched by the unthinkable.”

With a planned calendar of events including an Easter raffle and a ‘Purple Day’, Leach has arranged a series of activities that all the staff can get involved in at some point throughout the year, ensuring the support is company-wide.

Louise Addison, fundraiser for Forget Me Not, added: “We’re thrilled to be supported by Leach again in 2020 – the team has already shown Forget Me Not so much love! The pledge to raise £10,000 this year has completely blown us all away and we’re really looking forward to watching all their superb fundraising events”.

February’s activity was a pancake-eating challenge, where staff competed on the number of the sweet treats that they could eat – with additional pancakes on sale for those with smaller appetites!
