Tom’s Apprentice Challenge
Our head of membership and business growth, Tom Woolley, has recently completed the University of Liverpool’s “Help to Grow” course. During one module, his group were set a one hour challenge to raise as much as possible for a local charity, resulting in over £1500 being raised for our partner charity Clatterbridge Cancer Centre.
Tom said: “This is a perfect example of how significant sums can be raised through businesses working together and engaging their networks in their fundraising efforts. We know that there are many Chamber members that have a strong corporate social responsibility and would love to support local charities, so for an initial chat regarding how you could best engage with the third sector, please email me via Tom.Woolley@ liverpoolchamber.org.uk.”
