Giving back to the community CCHA’s Charity and Volunteering Committee have been busy over the last few months. Here are a few examples of what they have been up to: Sponsored walks Following last year’s success, we planned two more sponsored walks, expertly guided by Neil, a resident from our Greta Gardens extra care scheme. Neil is an ex-mountain rescue volunteer and has seen firsthand the vital work of our chosen charity partner the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS). The walks were a huge success and sponsorship rolled in from colleagues, friends and family, and the residents of Greta Gardens added a whopping £429 from their coffee morning. Together, the walks raised £3,000.
Great North Air Ambulance Service
As a corporate partner of GNAAS, CCHA is committed to helping the service’s incredible work across the North of England. Over the past two years we have donated £15,000 to this vital service and look forward to raising even more funds through the full CVC’s activities.
Christmas toy collection Each year our colleagues generously donate toys to local charities to ensure that no child goes without a present on Christmas Day.
