Impact Report 2023

“As part of The Christie Challenge, some of the fundraising activities have included our ‘Dress Down Friday’ where every month employees pay £2 to wear clothes of their own choice. Plus, we also have a ‘Pay Day Lottery’ where the 100+ employees put £2 ‘in the pot’ at the end of the month, then a winner gets 50% of the amount and the other 50% goes to The Christie Charity. We also do the same for other key events in the calendar such as The Grand National and Eurovision.” The LIFT team took part in many other fundraising events, including the Manchester to Blackpool bike ride, the Manchester Half Marathon and the Yorkshire Three Peaks. The impressive fundraising was kindly matched by the LIFT owners, totalling £21,500. As a result of all the hard work, the team was awarded a Christie Challenge medal, which sits proudly on display, alongside a picture of Dan. Corporate fundraising not only benefits The Christie, but it also helps boost morale and teamwork in the workplace.

DAN WAS A VERY POPULAR MEMBER OF OUR TEAM AND IS MISSED BY EVERYONE. HE WAS TREATED AT THE CHRISTIE AND SO OUR FUNDRAISING HAS BEEN PERSONAL TO ALL THE LIFT EMPLOYEES. Angela Leigh
