TRAD UK CLOSES 2023/24 CHARITY YEAR WITH £16K RAISED FOR CHOSEN CHARITIES

TRAD UK, has seen its 2023/24 charity appeal close on March 1st with a total of £16,000 raised. This amount will be shared between their three nominated charities for the past twelve months: Anthony Nolan, Marie Curie and Cancer Research UK.

The money has been raised through a combination of depot events and TRAD UK nationwide fund raising. The company held a very successful Golf Day at The Belfry in 2023, while staff members also ran in the Bournemouth and Manchester half marathons.  Earlier in the year, a couple of employees took on the Swimathon challenge, and throughout the year, various depot-based events have added to the collection total.

Alongside this fundraising, TRAD UK is also committed to helping its local communities in other ways. The company has been collecting for both food and hygiene banks, and employees have taken advantage of opportunities to volunteer for local charities, helping to give back directly.

“This has been a great year of fundraising for three important charities,” says Colin Dobson,  Managing Director at TRAD UK. “We are so grateful to all our staff, customers, suppliers and supporters who have made such an effort to contribute over the year, and who have made very generous donations. It’s really important to us all that we continue both with fundraising and with direct giving to our local communities, and we’re already planning our charitable focus for 2024/25.”
