Hippo Leisure, who are part of Manuplas Ltd, helped to raise money for Winston’s Wish this month by participating in the Charity’s ‘Great British Brekkie’ event. Winston’s Wish is a UK charity that helps thousands of bereaved children and their families each year through offering counselling, support and comfort in a variety of ways. Hippo / Manuplas staff generously donated sweet and savoury goodies (homemade or ready made) and these were sold on a food stall in the staff canteen on Monday 8th February 2016. A total of £62.78 was raised from donations given for the food items.
To ensure nothing was wasted, left over food from the event was taken to the Shekinah Mission’s drop in centre, a local charity which help people to recover from homelessness, drug and alcohol issues, offending behaviours and mental ill health.
Throughout 2016 Hippo / Manuplas will take part in more fundraising events to raise money for Winston’s Wish. The total amount of money raised for each event will kindly be matched by head office.
