A third-party logistics company currently operating from warehouses at Magna Park, in Lutterworth, and Nuneaton has raised over £80,000 for Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People.
Rhenus Warehousing Solutions UK has been supporting the charity since 2007. Fundraising carried out by the company and its employees is vital in helping Rainbows provide invaluable care to around 750 babies, children and young people with terminal and serious illnesses.
The £80,000 has been raised through various initiatives including seasonal raffles. Employees have also provided donations for the Rainbows’ recycling bins – which are distributed to its seven shops in the East Midlands.
Yvonne Fenwick, HR director at Rhenus, said: “We are incredibly proud to have reached, and indeed, passed the milestone of £80,000 for this amazing charity.
“I’d like to thank our extremely kind and generous employees and suppliers, as well as our Charity and Events team for taking part, donating and all their fundraising efforts in numerous charity events.
“At Rhenus Warehousing Solutions UK, charity is something that is very close to our hearts and we pride ourselves on our commitment to raising money, for not only our nominated charity Rainbows, but for a number of other local causes too.
“We’re already planning on how we can reach the next milestone and hosting more fundraising events.”
Lauren Baker, Corporate Partnership Fundraiser at Rainbows, added: “Over the years, Rhenus has raised a staggering amount – which will all help us to provide a service to the families who need us the most.
“On behalf of everyone at Rainbows, I thank each and every member of the Rhenus team, and its suppliers, who have supported us in our commitment to brightening short lives.”
