For the second year running Trinity Event Solutions has raised £20,000 for local charities through their Triple Challenge. On Tuesday, 7 April 2015, the Stamford-based venue finding and event management company celebrated the success of this initiative by presenting cheques to Hospital at Home, the Children’s Air Ambulance and the Sue Ryder Hospice, Thorpe Hall. These three charities were chosen by staff at the beginning of the year as part of Trinity’s on-going CSR programme.
The Trinity team visited 520 hotels and conference venues over one weekend July 2014, many of which donated prizes for an online auction. 329 people registered on the Trinity Triple Challenge auction website and placed 1,450 bids for 272 auction lots.
Nilesh Patel, Hospice Fundraiser at Sue Ryder, Thorpe Hall Hospice said: “The support we continue to receive from Trinity Event Solutions is hugely appreciated. This latest donation of £6,670 will go towards our Appeal to build a state of the art hospice which will ensure we continue to provide incredible hospice care for the people of this community for generations to come.” Sophie Burt, National Partnerships Manager – North, The Air Ambulance Service said: “The Children’s Air Ambulance are very grateful to be supported by Trinity Event Solutions’ online charity auction for another year. This brilliant initiative raises a wonderful sum of money and we appreciate the huge amount of work that goes into it by the team at Trinity. The Children’s Air Ambulance is changing the face of paediatric care in the transfer of critically ill children in the UK. By providing a dedicated air transfer service for children free of charge, we are empowering clinicians across the country to make the decisions they need to, without a second thought to the implications of cost. The fact that we do not receive any Government funding makes supports such as Trinity absolutely invaluable.”
Jacqui Kavanagh, CEO of Trinity Event Solutions was delighted with the fund-raising and commented: “This was a huge achievement and I would like to thank all the hotels and venues for supporting us, as well as the whole team who gave up their time and put a lot of work into making this a success. This initiative supports our CSR policy and we are delighted to make a contribution to local charities that will really make a big difference to their work.”
