The Enfield-based company named Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice as a charity partner for the last 12 months.
Noah’s Ark supports babies, children and young people with life-threatening or life-limiting conditions and their families across London.
TG Lynes hosted events, including a charity golf day at Woburn Golf Club. At the same time, staff rose to the fundraising challenge with internal events and Antonios Drosinos, a warehouse and trade counter operative, making a 13,000 ft tandem skydive in Peterborough.
110th anniversary
In February, the fundraising drive peaked with a gala dinner for suppliers and customers at Down Hall Hotel and Spa, which included a big-prize raffle and auction.
Andrew Ingram, Managing Director at TG Lynes, said TG Lynes was keen to support Noah’s Ark as part of the company’s 110th-anniversary celebrations.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to have raised £24,000 for Noah’s Ark, an outstanding local charity that provides excellent care and support to hundreds of children and their families,” he said.
“Our colleagues, and their families and friends, did great work in helping to raise as much money as possible, and we hope the money will go some way to supporting the vital work that it does.”
TG Lynes has pledged to continue supporting Noah’s Ark throughout 2023.
Anna McGrath, Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice philanthropy and partnerships manager, commented on the partnership: “We’re delighted to be partnered with TG Lynes and hugely grateful to their staff for their fundraising efforts. The money raised will help support more babies, children and young people who are seriously unwell and their families to make the most of every day.”
