December Charity 2020
Bendrigg Trust's Winter Wonderland

We’re glad to announce that the lucky recipient of the donation is Bendrigg Trust! The charity will be using our donation to create their first-ever ‘Winter Wonderland’ for families with disabled children. The Christmas-themed trail will wind through their accessible woodland, with families meeting many Christmas characters along the way, before finishing up at Santa’s workshop for an early Christmas present.

Supporting Those During Covid-19
Throughout the months of April and May, Qlic created a donation scheme where 5% of all project management revenue would be collated and put towards raising money for those charities supporting the vulnerable during Covid-19! As well as this, Qlic created their own fundraiser for the team to collectively complete 1,500km in just 14 days! We are delighted to say that Qlic has raised a grand total of £2,400, which we’ll be splitting equally between three outstanding organisations!!
March's Charity
Running Time
Matt and Dan will be taking on a 5k run around Danson Park, passing the lake, Danson House and going through the woods. A 2 lap course which is majority on tarmac path but a gravel path and woodland track does break this up.
June's Charity
Walking for Warren Road
Did you know the average person in the UK only walks around half a mile per day!! That’s around 2,000 steps per day! Our lovely Caroline is setting herself the challenge of walking 200 miles in June! It may not sound a lot to some, but it’ll mean doing over 12,000 steps a day and around 7 miles per day. Caroline is hoping people will sponsor her and her aim is to raise enough money to have a Defibrillator fitted at Warren Road School. With over 700 students, over 700 parents, a huge number of staff and lots of weekly clubs, this is something very important to our local school. The cost is roughly £600, so it is a tall order!
April's Charity
Running for Jackie
This month is a very personal cause for us at Qlic and especially for Ben. In his own words ‘In early 2018 Jackie Caspary was diagnosed with cancer. Jackie was the operations director at Premier Choice Telecom. We sat opposite each other for all of Jackie’s time at Premier Choice. Since Jackie started working with me she had a tickling cough which wouldn’t go away, after some nagging Jackie went to the doctors and shortly after was diagnosed. Jackie sadly stopped work in March this year due to her continuing cancer treatment. Jackie has been an inspiration to all at Premier and personally helped me to develop in my role. She will be missed at Premier.’
