✨Fundraiser Friday✨ We want to say a huge thank you to Marc Hodgson, who has been hosting charity quiz nights for the past year in aid of Cystic Fibrosis Trust. The latest one in September raised a fantastic £1,535! Thank you to all who have supported 'The Quizness' 💛

✨Thanking Thursday✨ SHS are over halfway through their fundraising for Cystic Fibrosis Trust as their charity of the year. They've raised a staggering £10,600 with still more plans for events in the future! So far they've held jelly bean and chocolate truffle sales, annual leave draws, a canoe trip and a Christmas raffle, took part in the CF Mamas and Papas Skipping Challenge, created an SHS recipe book, and walked and run many miles! Plus they've Custard-and-Creamed the Leadership Team. What an incredible group of fundraisers – thank you so much! If your company or colleagues would like to fundraise or nominate Cystic Fibrosis Trust as their charity of the year, email us at events@cysticfibrosis.org.uk to discuss the support you'll get every step of the way.
