Clough & Willis raise £2157.67 for the new Manchester Children’s Hospital Appeal

Congratulations go to Clough & Willis Partners, Paul Breedon and Chris Macwilliam on taking part in Bike Unite for the New Children's Hospital Appeal. On Sunday, 28th June, Paul and Chris braved the heat and humidity to cycle 37 miles from Salford Quays along the Manchester Ship Canal and Transpennine Way to Calderstone Park in Liverpool.

During the ride Chris suffered a bad fall and broke his arm, never-the-less he went on to complete the ride and in a fantastic effort they finished the challenge in under 3 hours, the guys finished so early - their friends and families had not yet arrived at the finish line to meet them.

A huge thank you to friends of Clough & Willis for their kind sponsorship

Our congratulations and huge thanks also go to our friends of Clough & Willis. Between us we have managed to raise £2157.67 for the Manchester Children’s Hospital. Although Paul and Chris have done the really hard work and taken the injuries - it is the money that will really help to make a difference over at the new Children's Hospital. Whilst it is now up and running there is still lots to be done to ensure the children of Manchester and their families have the best facilities available. In the current environment we appreciate that people have had to dig deep to support this.

 

Working in the Community

Clough & Willis believe that business is not just about supplying a service to the public and other businesses. It is about making a positive contribution to the communities we work with.

We are actively supporting a number of local, regional and national charities including:

Many Hands Campaign for The New Children's Hospital Appeal

The New Childrens Hospital Appeal aims to raise £20million to support projects within the new children's hospital including provision of the latest equipment for diagnosis and treatment and a place for parents to stay close to their child's ward within the new hospital.

Paul Breedon, Partner (Commercial Property) took part in the Santa Dash with wife Carol in December

Travelling Teddy Bear

Clough & Willis adopted a Teddy Bear which joined Clough & Willis staff on their holidays, it has visited places such as Turkey, London, Alicante, Russia, Tenerife (twice) the Lake District, even a European Road Trip on a Motorbike.

The public were invited, for a nominal cost of £1 to guess the bears name. The winner received a box of luxury chocolates.

For a nominal cost of £2 the public were invited to guess the mileage that the bear has travelled, the person who guesses the
nearest to the final mileage won a luxury dinner for 2 in Manchester .
