Helping Hands
Helping Hands is our internal fundraising charity. Its aim is to raise funds to support Birchall employees and others who are facing struggles in their lives, such as a bereavement, financial issues or caring for a disabled family member. The charity also pays for gifts to celebrate milestone events in employees’ lives, such as weddings, births and new homes..
About
The charity was the idea of Louise Birchall and was set up in mid-2018. As a company, we have always gone above and beyond to donate to external charities, whether local or national, and we have always done our part to support our local community. However, Louise wanted to do more to help our employees, which is why she set the group up.
Since inception, Helping Hands has spent thousands of pounds helping employees with various issues, ranging from larger donations such as part-covering funeral costs and purchasing home appliances to smaller donations, such as as sending flowers to those in hospital. Helping Hands also provides loans for employees should they need one. The group provides much support behind the scenes. They do not ‘shout’ about this support for privacy reasons, but be assured that they are helping employees out on a weekly basis.
Fundraising
Fundraising takes place throughout the year in the form of fun events, such as bake sales, raffles, fancy dress days, football cards, golf days, tombolas and lots more. We encourage all employees to get involved whenever they can, and we welcome new fundraising ideas.
All employees are entitled to support from Helping Hands, but all employees are expected to support the cause too.
