We were delighted to present a cheque for £1,000 to Heather Sheldon, CEO Alice Charity as part of our quarterly staff away day on 19 June. Alice Charity was selected by our colleagues as our chosen fundraising charity for 2024-25.
The £1,000 was raised via a variety of external and internal events, including our tombola at The Discovery Academy Winter Fayre, selling water bottles at the St Stephen’s Church Bentilee Christmas Fayre, proceeds from our ‘tuck shop’, our staff Easter egg raffle and staff donations on Christmas Jumper Day. A huge thank you goes to all our suppliers and staff who donated gifts for the tombola and to staff who took time out to help coordinate events.
It was a pleasure to be able to donate an amount that we know will have a positive impact and provide much required support for the Alice Charity. Tracey, CEO EPIC, commented “At EPIC, we believe in being more than just a landlord, we’re part of a much wider community. Supporting the Alice Charity is something of which we are proud. The work they do touches lives right in the heart of Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme, where our colleagues, tenants, and families live and grow. It was a privilege to be able to contribute to a cause that reflects our values and makes a difference locally.”
Heather Sheldon, Alice Charity CEO said “On behalf of everyone at Alice, we extend our heartfelt thanks to EPIC for your incredible support. Your partnership has played a vital role in helping us reach and uplift those most in need. Your commitment to the local community aligns closely with our mission, and together, we’ve been able to make a meaningful difference in the lives of so many. Thank you for your continued passion and for helping us build stronger, more connected communities.”
