Güralp employees raise £470 for SeeAbility
Cheque Handover to SeeAbility
Güralp employees raise £470 for SeeAbility, a charity that supports people with sight loss and multiple disabilities.
Güralp employees, (left to right) Wayne Noon, Sue Hearne, Garry Gromowski-Cook and Debra Barber, were delighted to present a local residential home run by charity SeeAbility, with a cheque for £470.00. The money was raised over the Christmas period through an alternative Christmas card programme, where employees donated funds instead of buying cards for their colleagues. This initiative raised an impressive £324 which was then topped up with £145 by the company.
Fir Tree Lodge, based just a mile from Güralp’s headquarters in Aldermaston, is one of a number of residential homes throughout the South of England run by SeeAbility. The home provides support for adults with a range of disabilities and complex needs, specialising in supporting and assisting people with sight loss.
The cheque was presented following a short tour of the amazing facilities at the home, which provides specialist accommodation and support for ten residents. Receiving the cheque is Fir Tree Lodge resident Paul, surrounded by a number of his housemates.
The funds raised have been used to purchase equipment such as a specialist bowling set, giant table top games including scented bingo and an ultraviolet light and neon paints for discos. To find out more about the work of SeeAbility, you can visit their website www.seeability.org.
