An Arnold firm reached their goal of raising £500 for the Nottingham Hospitals Charity with a football shoot-out challenge.
Lindleys, who are based on Nottingham Road, held the charity challenge at the Riverside Festival on Nottingham’s Victoria Embankment over the weekend of Saturday August 6 and Sunday 7
Festival goers at the event were invited to have three penalty shots at the inflatable football goal & receive a goody bag from Lindleys in return for any donation to the chosen charity.
Lindleys raised over £355 during the two days and as a gesture of good will the auto firm decided to top up the total donation to £500.
Joanne Burr, corporate fundraising manager at Nottingham Hospitals Charity, said: “We’re so grateful to all the staff at Lindleys Autocentres for helping raise this fantastic £500 for Nottingham Hospitals Charity.
“The money they’ve raised will make a real difference to patients and staff at Nottingham’s NHS hospitals by helping to fund things like enhancements to the hospital environment, specialist equipment, medical research and staff wellbeing programmes.
“Thank you to everyone who took part in the penalty shootout on the day.”
The Nottingham Hospitals Charity supports Nottingham’s four NHS hospitals – including Queen’s Medical Centre, City Hospital, Ropewalk House & the Nottingham Children’s Hospital.
Ryan O’Donnell, marketing director at Lindleys Autocentres said “We would like to thank everyone who took part in our initiative contributing towards this greatly appreciated donation.
“It gives us huge pleasure to have raised this money for such a fantastic charitable organisation and great satisfaction knowing that the money we have raised has gone to such a worthy cause in the Nottingham Hospitals Charity”
