The Angel Ice Bucket Challenge Continues

It’s not just our main office that’s doing their part in supporting ALS! Our Hemel Hempstead Office and Scotland depot took the challenge too.

The Ice Bucket Challenge is a charitable event that has swept the nation in an attempt to raise money for ALS, a motor neurone disease which affects muscles resulting in a lack of control over body movement.

At Angel Springs we take part in a number of charitable events. Donating our time, money and water to help in any way we can. When the Ice Bucket Challenge was bought to some of our staff’s attention they immediately decided to take part and donate what they could. All the staff who took part were enthusiastic, below is what our Hemel Hempstead Office had to say.

Lloyd Fletcher, Telephone Sales Assistant Manager: ‘’BRRRilliant cause and we really enjoyed getting 120 litres of freezing water poured on us – would I do it again? YES! Thank you for donating’’.

Nikki Mann, Telesales Executive: ‘’ It was such a fun way of raising money and awareness for a great cause! It was ice cold but it was worth it! I’m sure the lads enjoyed chucking water over us as well!’’

Laura Hemmings, Telesales Executive : “It was so cold but so worth it! I’m always happy to do my bit for charity. Thank you to all that donated and well done to all those who took part!”

Becca Wilson, Telesales Executive: ‘’Doing the ice bucket challenge was loads of fun and freezing cold! Definitely a great way to raise money for a great cause’’

Liam Murphy, Regional Sales Executive: “Doing the Ice bucket challenge was buckets of fun. Well done to all that took part and donated for such a great cause!”

Angel Springs Ice Bucket Challenge

ALS is one of five motor neuron diseases with various causes. It is characterised by muscle weakness and spasticity due to muscle atrophy. Individuals affected by the disorder may ultimately lose the ability to initiate and control all voluntary movement.

The Ice Bucket Challenge, which has gone viral across the nation over the past few days, is an activity involving throwing a bucket of freezing cold ice water over somebody as a nominated sponsor for research into ALS.

Here at Angel Springs we support both national and local charities, and are always willing to do our part and get involved in a fundraising activity. This condition especially is one close to the hearts of staff here at angel springs, so we’re doing our own.

The event organiser Christie James said

“We took part in this challenge as members of staff have had family/friends that have been affected by this disease. We felt as a company, we could raise both awareness and funds for this worthwhile charity. Our £200 target was exceeded and we hope the directors nomination will mean further donations are made.

All the staff that took part, at both Wolverhampton & Hemel put in tremendous effort and commitment to the cause. We are all still thawing out now haha”

Angel Springs Supports The Steelite International Charity Ball

Angel Springs are pleased to be supporting the Steelite International ‘Through the Looking Glass’ Teacup and Candlelight Charity Ball.  The Charity Ball aims to raise money for the Company’s ‘Giving Something Back’ community fund, helping Steelite International continue to support local initiatives and charities within a 5 mile radius with much-needed funding and support.

Kevin Oaks chief executive commented,

“The past year has enabled us to realise our vision, raising over £23,000 since the introduction of our Giving Something Back community fund in 2013 and helping over 80 fantastic causes in line with our fields of giving: youth aspiration, the elderly, community regeneration and supporting new ceramic entrepreneurs.  I really hope you will support us. We look forward to welcoming ‘Through the Looking Glass’ to our Teacup and Candlelight Charity Ball, 2014.”

When asked about supporting the event John Dundon, Managing Director at Angel Springs commented,

“At Angel Springs we are always trying to generate a culture of helping others.  Whether this is via our  payroll giving scheme with Compton Hospice Wolverhampton by matching employees regular monthly donations,  or supporting and fund raising for many local charities.  In addition our main sponsored charity is the ‘Make-A-Wish Foundation’ which grants once in a lifetime wishes to children and young people with life threatening illnesses.  To date we have donated £88,000 and by the end of this year we hope to have increased this to more than £100,000.”

“When we were approached by one of our customers Steelite to help with their vision of giving something back to communities with a “Through the Looking Glass” initiative, we were only too pleased to donate.  We wish everyone at Steelite every success with this great cause.”

By donating to this fantastic event we continue to aid important charities that our customers support.  For anyone wishing to attend the ball, it will be taking place on Friday September 26th and full details can be found at teacupandcandlelight@steelite.com
