Hippo Raise Money for Winston's Wish Charity


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.
