PBIS Fundraising Competition 2024

ByPBIS

Last year was the first year we ran our Fundraising Competition, instead of our usual Good Neighbour competition that had run in previous years here at Paul Baker Insurance. We had the pleasure of reading upon a range of great entries but two stood out upon where their charitable efforts have helped fundraise a substantial amount to their nominated charities.

Firstly, the Runner up award winner is Ceri Stone.  He has fundraised £4460 for his charity, William Wates Memorial Trust, by cycling the entire route of the Tour de France this year. An impressive feat to say the least and they hope to do this again in 2025! The route includes 3,400 kilometres and over 57,000 of steep terrain, completed throughout 21 days. We were very impressed with this dedication to fundraising and are pleased to award £150 to addition to his donation efforts.

The first-place winners are Mr and Mrs Notley! We received a fantastic letter detailing not only their recent fundraising efforts for Marie Curie Care but their amazing efforts from over the last 35 years. After seeing firsthand the brilliant care the palliative care nurses gave to a family member, Mr & Mrs Motley first started by volunteering to fundraise as part of the regular daffodil campaign.

Mr Notley himself has completed activities such as Sky diving, Abseiling, Published a book of Poems, appeared on the Weakest Link and Countdown as well as 48-hour scrabble marathons to name just a few. They’ve raised money not only for Marie Curie Care but Breast Cancer Research, the Big C, Cancer Research and Parkinson’s UK. We are delighted to award £250 to Mr & Mrs Notley and their nominated charity, Marie Curie Care.

A big congratulations to winners, we are excited to see what Park Home residents will fundraise as the competition enters into it’s second year in 2025.
