The Ice Co Annual Charity Day took place on Thursday 23rd August. A special day where we all come together to raise money for the charities closest to us. With food provided for all and a list as long as our arm of raffle prizes to giveaway, we were geared up to make this year the best yet!
Here’s a short clip of what we got up to…
Across all our sites we are so pleased to announce that we raised a record breaking amount of £2000. We couldn’t have done this without the help of our generous employees. Together with the contribution from the company this meant the grand total comes to an incredible £12,500…all we then needed was nominations from our employees of who to donate the money to. With a total of 33 nominations we decided that non would miss out. Here’s who will benefit from the money raised…
