Chorley-based Festive Lights took on the challenge, inviting both their Charnock Richard-based Head Office and Wigan distribution center to partake in a host of fundraising activities. Over the past three months, staff have taken part in office sweepstakes, bake sales, taken part in a 12-mile walk, and held an internal auction to raise a total of £1,367.41 for the charity.
The funds raised will be used to help care for and support over 400 children with life-limiting conditions and their families. The £50 Business Challenge is an opportunity for businesses of all sizes to raise money in support of the hospice. Businesses receive £50 from the charity, which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with a pledge to transform it into more funds which will be used to provide unwavering support for the children and their families.
Businesses are invited to be as creative as possible with their fundraising endeavors in the hope that the initial £50 provided is increased by the end of challenge.
