STAFF CHARITY TOPS £1,000

Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

At Incorporatewear, being part of the UK’s leading corporate clothing provider means looking after our customers, but our people also make time to look after those less fortunate than ourselves.

Through lots of hard-work and dedicated fundraising, Incorporatewear staff have raised a whopping £1,078 for a charity that provides support for people with the little-known condition ataxia.

• Our series of fundraising days for Ataxia UK included:
A successful book sale (with leftover books donated to the Ronald McDonald House Charities)
• Sales of charity merchandise
• A sponsored five-mile walk by our administration team

Thanks to everyone who took part and helped raise this amazing amount of money.

More than 10,000 people in the UK have a form of ataxia, which affects movement, balance and sppech. Ataxia UK is a small charity providing support for friends and family as well as funding research into developing safe, effective treatments. There is currently no cure for ataxia but the charity is working to find one every day.
