Bradford Chamber's new selected charity is the well-known Sue Ryder Hospice Manorlands in Oxenhope.
The selection was a joint decision between the new Bradford Chamber President, Stephen Wright, and all the Chamber staff. As a result, all the fundraising activity that Bradford Chamber undertakes for the next two years will see Sue Ryder as the beneficiary. From office dress down days and cake baking sales to a top level raffle at the Chamber's Annual Dinner, Manorlands will receive all money raised.
Stephen Wright, Chamber President said: "There are so many worthy causes in the District it is hard to make the final choice but I am delighted that as a group we have chosen Manorlands. Bradford Chamber members and staff raise several thousand pounds every year and I am sure that the money will be welcomed by the home."
Rachel Cunningham, Sue Ryder Manorlands Corporate Fundraiser said: "We rely on voluntary donations to keep Manorlands open and it's great news that Bradford Chamber has chosen to support us for the next two years. Without such support we would not be able to provide the levels of care so many people rely on at such difficult times in their lives. We will be encouraging Chamber staff and members to get involved in all our fundraising activities or to even come up with their own ideas. The Fundraising team here at Manorlands is always on hand to help."
