PRESS RELEASE
April 11, 2011.
HOUSING UNITS £30,000 FOR THE CHRISTIE.
The world-renowned Christie cancer care hospital has said thirty thousand thank-yous to 280 store staff in Failsworth, north Manchester
Staff at Housing Units concluded their three year support of The Christie with a £10,750 flourish – the final fund-raising cheque has been handed over by staff and management, making a total of £30,000 raised.
“There’s plenty of places, furniture and beds in Housing Units to laze around on, but the team here has been getting very active with a vast array of fund raising efforts, largely involving exercise or muscle flexing,” said Nick Fox of Housing Units. (video)
“But there’s great satisfaction amongst the team – spurred along by ‘head fundraiser’ Bob Lamble at Housing Units – because they know that every penny makes a difference.”
Roger Smith, a governor of The Christie, (video) thanked the team for its efforts over the past three years:
“The sums of money raised and contributed by the Housing Units team make a significant difference both to the level of treatment we can provide for patients, and to pay for value added equipment.
“I can only say a huge thank-you to the team for their efforts, and they can live in the knowledge that they are making a huge difference to the lives of people in the region with cancer.”
