It is a fantastic amount, just over £16,000 that we've raised for the hospice.
00:05
So basically, since 2016, we've been part of the corporate challenge team.
00:11
So every year, for four months in a year, we go all out fundraising for the hospice.
00:17
So basically, the hospice, they give us a £50 starter pack, and the idea is to turn
00:23
that £50 into as much money as possible.
00:26
So we go all out, the bulk of our fundraising this year, as previous years, has been in-store
00:33
collections.
00:34
We do bucket collections, stand at the front of the store, and people are so passionate.
00:42
I say this all the time, the easiest organisation to raise money is Pendleside Hospice, because
00:51
everyone is so passionate about it, because it's touched us all in some way or another.
00:58
So it's an absolute pleasure, because when you're fundraising, people come to you, they
01:03
have a little story to tell.
01:05
As they're making a donation, they will tell you about how they're passionate about the
01:11
hospice, and it's heart-touching stories that you get to hear.
01:17
So yeah, we've had lots of activities going on, in addition to bucket collections.
01:23
We've had people doing head-shaves, staying silent for a day, there's lots going on.
01:36
We've done a zipline challenge, what a thrilling challenge that was.
01:40
It wasn't exactly on my bucket list, but for the hospice, I was not prepared to do anything,
01:46
so that was quite an amazing challenge.
01:48
So that was a sponsored event, so yeah, that's the sort of things that we have been doing.
01:54
The relationship that we have with Tesco has been quite a long-standing relationship, particularly
02:00
with the Corporate Challenge.
02:02
They've been helping us and supporting us since the challenge started way back in 2016,
02:08
so we have built up a tremendous relationship with them, with the Community Champions.
02:14
So we're really, really grateful for all the support that they give us, and every year
02:19
they just seem to be so creative and so imaginative with their fundraising activities, and that
02:24
makes such a difference to us, because everything that they do for us makes a difference at
02:29
the hospice.
02:31
We are such a focal part of the local community, I think everybody that we speak to has been
02:36
touched by Pendleside in some way or other, some connection some way or other, so we're
02:42
really, really fortunate that we've got this relationship with Tesco, and they have been
02:45
absolutely amazing in their support for us.
02:50
So I'm delighted that Muktar is on board with us, it's been brilliant, and we're looking
02:53
forward to next year as well.
