The team here at Cherwell Laboratories continued their fundraising efforts over the 2019 Christmas period.
Staff members managed to raise nearly £250 during their Christmas 2019 raffle. We would like to say thank you to everyone here at Cherwell that participated in the fundraising raffle for buying raffle tickets and donating prizes. Cherwell matched the amount raised by staff and rounded it up to make £500.
Rather than sending Christmas cards to customers and suppliers, Cherwell also added £1,000 to this amount.
This brings the total value raised to £1,500, which will be split equally, to £500 for each of the following charities:
