Wilmslow Round Table has received a donation of £1,500 from
AstraZeneca to acknowledge their fundraising for St Ann's Hospice in Cheadle.
The Round Table organised a charity bonfire and firework
display, the event raised a spectacular £16,500 which has been distributed to
over 10 local charities. The main beneficiary of the event in 2001 was St Ann's
Hospice who have received £7,500 towards their work in caring for the
terminally ill. The donation was given as an Award to staff at AstraZeneca in
Alderley Park who entered the Company's Matched-Funding Award Scheme and who
fundraise for Wilmslow Round Table. To qualify for an award, a group of three or more employees must
aim to raise at least £1,000, which could then be matched by the Company.
Awards are granted when each employee makes a personal effort that contributes
to the fundraising target, by organising an event or by participating in
fundraising. Over 30 local charities and organisations have so far benefited
from the AstraZeneca Matched-Funding Awards Scheme. Ends
