Not only will all members of the Cambridge office be fundraising for Milton's EACH hospice, but they will also be using their official volunteering days to help local charities, organisations and initiatives. The Firm has gifted every employee two fully paid Volunteer Days, which can be deployed for any good cause of their choosing.
EACH supports children, young people and their families address the challenges which having a life-threatening condition brings. Services are provided either in the family home, the community or one of their hospices.
Camilla Haycock, EACH, said: "We are delighted that Bidwells has chosen EACH to support in their 175th Anniversary year. We see the partnership as a great way to engage their staff in exciting fundraising initiatives whilst helping them to celebrate their anniversary in a positive and meaningful way. Many of the Bidwells offices, including their headquarters, are based in East Anglia and their fundraising will help EACH to continue with its work to support and care for children and young people with a life-threatening condition, as well as their families in the same region."
"The work EACH does is absolutely critical to every community it serves because it steps in when parents, families and children are at their most vulnerable and in greatest need for support and guidance" said Richard Pilsworth, Head of Cambridge, Bidwells.
"Having personally visited the EACH hospice in Milton, I am twice as determined to help them with the great work that they do.
"Please help us make a difference in any way you can."
