Thanks for World Aids Day help, Seeking Corporate Sponsorship, Great Manchester Run
World Aids Day thanks
We'd like to say a big thank you to all volunteers, staff and supporters for their efforts in fundraising over the World Aids Day period, and in particular for helping to raise the profile of this important event.
Staff and volunteers from George House Trust, the Lesbian and Gay Foundation and Body Positive North West staffed an information stall in the European Christmas market over the weekend and sold red ribbons in Manchester city centre. Despite the wind and the rain together we raised over £3,000 for George House Trust.
Thanks also to Bury Grammar School, MANCAT, Currys Stretford, Open Athletics and Pure nightclub for all their fundraising efforts.
Seeking Corporate Sponsorship
George House Trust have launched a programme to develop corporate sponsorship links with companies based in the North West.
The programme will provide numerous benefits to the companies involved, including: improved corporate social responsibility, optional training on HIV related employment issues and general HIV awareness, increased PR, and involvement for staff in fundraising events.
If you work for, or are aware of, a company that might be interested in developing links with us, please contact Katherine Moulder on 0161 274 4499 or email katherine@ght.org.uk.
Great Manchester Run
Over 100 runners are commited to fundraising for George House Trust on 18 May and our runners, including staff and volunteers, are asking for your sponsorship now. In February alone Welfare Fund applications were for more than £6 500. This is more than twice what we have to spend in the Welfare Fund budget and leaves many disappointed people. This makes us even keener to encourage you to sponsor our runners. Visit Great Manchester Run at www.ght.org.uk
