Latest People: Chestnut Tree House Business Awards

Chestnut Tree House Business Awards
Around 80 representatives of Sussex businesses gathered at Crawley Town Football Club on Thursday 18 September for the launch of Chestnut Tree House biennial Business Awards.

Sarah Arnold, Corporate Fundraising Manager for Chestnut Tree House, said: “We need to raise a staggering £6,850 per day to provide all our care services. Every year, hundreds of businesses raise thousands of pounds to help us continue providing care to children with life-shortening illnesses – and their families – and we want to thank them and give something back. We are inviting businesses to nominate themselves or name individuals in their organisations who have put in extraordinary effort to raise funds to help us.”

There are seven awards categories, including Outstanding Original Fundraiser, Fundraising Team of the Year, Most Innovative Fundraising Idea and Outstanding Long-term Supporter.

Nominations will be judged by an expert panel, and the Business Awards will take place on Thursday 12 March 2015 at South Lodge Hotel.

To nominate a business or an individual, visit the hospice’s website: www.chestnut-tree-house.org.uk The closing date for nominations is 2 February 2015.
