Over the course of this year, staff and friends of Poultec Training have raised an incredible amount of money for various different causes.

As a result of donations taken at the Royal Norfolk Show in June for the use of our outdoor facilities, our Learner Awards in July, we have raised a fantastic amount of £2,131 that has been donated to the Stroke Association in memory of Poultec’s Agricultural assessor, Chris Coleman.

In September, we raised £433.97 in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support by baking lots of yummy cakes and bakes for customers to enjoy.

In November, we raised a whopping total of £1,204.80 for our Charity Bingo Night in aid of BBC Children in Need.

Also in November, we raised an incredible £564 from members of staff growing out their taches’ for the month!

At Poultec, we take enormous pride in all we have done to raise awareness and funds for these brilliant charities, and we will do our hardest to carry this on throughout the years.

On Friday 16th November 2018, South Green Park hosted their very own Charity Bingo Night in aid of BBC Children in Need. The evening saw nearly 100 customers take part in 10 games of bingo and a prize-drawn raffle!

The staff and friends of South Green Park went the extra mile to receive fabulous prize donations for the bingo and raffle winners! A few of the prizes to be won included a gift bag of Kettle Chips, a generously-sized fruit basket from C.C Wells, £30 Gressingham Foods voucher, Heroes for 6 Minutes White Collar Boxing Tickets, and many, many more!

In total, they raised a whopping £1,204.80 and all donations will go to BBC Children in Need.

On Friday 28th September, Café Verde hosted their very own Macmillan Coffee Morning in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

Lots of yummy cakes and bakes were made by staff of South Green Park and Poultec Training, who paid £2.00 for each bake to be entered into the ‘Staff Bake Off’ to raise money for the charity. After careful and very precise judging by Poultec’s very own catering tutor, the top prize was awarded to Anna Bales, Business Development Officer, for her Salted Caramel Banana Cake – it disappeared very quickly!

Overall, the Morning was a huge success, and they managed to raise a magnificent total of £433.97, which has been donated to Macmillan Cancer Support!
Café Verde and staff at South Green Park and Poultec Training feel very privileged to have the opportunity to do something amazing for raising awareness of the implications of cancer on a person’s life, and feel that their support will go a long way in helping those affected by the disease.

Christmas Jumper Day!

Following on from Save the Children Christmas Jumper Day on the 22nd December 2017, we raised an incredible £76.05 for the cause!

Save the Children’s mission is to fight for children’s rights with immediate and lasting improvement to children’s lives worldwide. This organization persuades governments and others who are responsible for children to do the right thing by them. It seeks out the most marginalized children, wherever they are in the world, so that means they work in a really broad range of countries – they aim to fight against the fundamental rights that affect our children, today.

Save the Children’s objective is to improve the resources for health systems including human resources for health – build the capacity of partner countries to train and retain an effective health workforce

The Big Pink Coffee Morning!

On Friday 20th October, our Café Verde hosted a Big Pink Coffee Morning to help raise awareness about Breast Cancer and the damage it causes to many woman across the UK. Gymtec Fitness held a spin bike challenge and kept it running all day, including members of staff, gym members, and our Personal Trainer’s!

Following on from these fundraisers, we raised a total of £93.27 = £32.00 from the Gymtec spin bike challenge and £61.27 from Café Verde’s coffee morning.

These contributions will help provide free services to people affected by breast cancer whenever they need our help in the future

Members of the public and staff enjoyed a variety of flavoured cakes, whilst drinking tea and soaking up the sun in the beautiful grounds at South Green Park Enterprise Centre in Mattishall.
