Giving Back to Local Charities
01/06/2011
We’re thrilled to have reached our target of raising £4,000 for local charities!
To reach this amount, we all chipped in: For our monthly ‘casual clothes’ days in work, each staff member donated £1.
These donations were then combined with all the money raised from our free cartridge recycling service to give us the total of £4,000.
The 4 local charities which we’ve donated this money to are;
- The Lyndale School
- Clatterbridge Cancer Research
- The Stroke Association
- Hospice of the Good Shepherd

The Lyndale School
Pat Stewart, Head Teacher (Pictured with Penketh’s Managing Director, Mark Penketh)
“The Lyndale Special School Caters for children aged 2 – 11 years with very complex and sometimes life threatening conditions. Penketh’s donation will be used to develop an outdoor music area in the school which could be accessed by our children in wheelchairs & would enrich the outdoor curriculum.”
Clatterbridge Cancer Research

"Donations fund our scientists to develop more effective treatments, improved diagnosis & find the cause of cancer earlier, ensuring every penny spent on research directly benefits Merseyside & Cheshire residents. We are so grateful for this donation. It provides the resources for a scientist to carry out an investigatory project for three weeks"
The Stroke Association
Louise Kay - Regional Fundraising Manager (pictured with Penketh's Marketing Manager, Karen Abel)
"The money Penketh's has raised will make a real difference to people across the North West living with the affects of stroke. Whether we are providing support through our Life After Stroke or information services, funding pioneering research, campaigning or providing Life After Stroke Grants, we rely upon voluntary income for funding."
Hospice of The Good Shepherd

"Donations such as these have been used as sponsorship to help set up & run large scale events that have proven very popular at the Hospice. The donations also contribute towards specialised areas, such as new equipment enabling nurses & doctors to care for patients more effectively."
