The Christie charity Impact Report 2021-22

MAKING THE CHRISTIE A CORPORATE CAUSE As a charity we continue to get great support from local, national and even international businesses and workplaces.

Havas Lynx Group, an international healthcare communications company, has been a supporter of The Christie charity for many years and has already raised more than £17,000. Successful events include the Havas Lynx Games – a virtual team building event held during lockdown. The global healthcare communications group is based in Manchester city centre and this year decided to take part in The Christie Challenge to complete six fundraising activities in 12 months. The teams at Havas Lynx Group rose to the challenge and organised a wide range of fundraising activities. Some of the teams’ activities included raffles, bake sales, Christmas donations, quiz nights and bingo games. One team even created its own calendar filled with fun and inventive posed shots for every month of 2022. It sold the calendar

to other teams at Havas Lynx Group and raised £370 for The Christie charity. The Havas Lynx Group has now successfully completed The Christie Challenge 11 times over. Collecting over 66 medals for the fantastic challenges. Vikki Ward, Chief Production Officer for Havas Lynx Group explained: “Each year, when it comes to supporting our local charities and organisations, without a doubt The Christie always ranks highly amongst our employees, encouraging us to continue our support. As a healthcare communications agency, it’s always made perfect sense for us to align our corporate social responsibility work with an organisation that is so in tune with our ethos, but we also have many employees who have a personal connection to The Christie and the critically important care it delivers to patients.
