After months of build up with various fundraising activities the day of the Hansam Annual Fundraiser Day 2024 took place on Friday, for this years chosen charity of 4Louis.
Each year the Geosynthetics Ltd and Stormwater Management Ltd teams get involved with a huge fundraising effort for a charity that is picked from team nominations. There is always a number of activities in the run up to big fundraiser day to raise donations and awareness. On the day itself the teams get involved in team games, tombola, the Hansam raffle and the annual Hansam Quiz. Of course, we can’t miss out each year there is also the management challenge - where volunteers from the management team face a bidding war to see who will be on the receiving end of a GUNGE!
This year the team have all really got involved in the fundraising effort bringing their own ideas that they have seen through from start to finish for raising money in the run up to the day - just to list a few we have had; a quiz night, pet portrait photography, balloon popping game with prizes to be won, furniture sale, homegrown pickles for a pound and a variety of Friday lunches prepared and served by different members such as Jacket Potatoes, Crepes & Pork Cobs.
On top of this volunteers from the team have also got involved in our Zumba-Thon where they faced a 2 and a half hour long non-stop high energy zumba class ran by 6 volunteer instructors from the local community.
Friday, the team got involved with water gargling singing, crazy dancing, riddle chasing & more! It was great to see a huge effort from the team not only with their energy and commitment to the day but with those fantastic fancy dress outfits for the Geo Book Day Theme!
Also, after a bidding war between Business Development Manager Gordon Trehy and Sales Manager Adam Brown, it was Gordon who received this year’s GUNGE! Adam didn’t quite escape the punishment though...
All of the above has been in the name of 4Louis: 4Louis is a UK charity that works across the country to support anyone affected by miscarriage, stillbirth and the death of a baby or child. They also work to improve the care bereaved families receive from health care and other professionals. They provide memory boxes filled with keepsakes and mementos to help families create lasting memories of their loved one. They also provide useful tools, equipment, and training free of charge to hospital units, hospices, and other professionals who work with grieving families.
We couldn’t do this each year without the kindness and support from not only our team but the whole of the local community and business’ that get involved whether thats through donating, getting involved with activities, donating prizes or volunteering their time. Thank you!
With all that said It is our pleasure to announce that the Hansam Group with your support has raised a huge......£6,000! Which our Chairman Chris Foxton has generously doubled to make a grand total of £12,000. We are so grateful for everyone who has been behind this day and we are so pleased to of raised such an impactful amount of money to support the fantastic, beautiful charity that is 4Louis!
