This is a charity that is close to my heart and I enjoy arranging fundraising parties and walks or taking part in organised events that are put on by the charity.

Support the preschool in different areas including fundraising, raising awareness to encourage new families to attend, helping at events, creating marketing materials, writing articles etc.

I was part of the team at Avery Dennison gaining a $5,000 grant for Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust to support in their work. We arranged to attend a number of volunteering activities, supporting the Trust with habitat management including coppicing, clearing shrubs and weeding.

I led the engagement with Chester Zoo on behalf of our Runcorn office and completed the application process for a grant through the Avery Dennison Foundation. Chester Zoo wanted the funds to support their We Will Never Forget campaign to help with research of the EEHV deadly virus which is affecting the endangered Asian elephants.

The application was successful and this fantastic charity received $5,000 to support their work.

I arranged for a team of 8 from Avery Dennison to visit Chester Zoo as volunteers for the day. We helped to dig up and move earth to make pathways as part of a restructuring of the endangered plants display which is due to re-open in 2017. We had a fantastic day and the team at Chester Zoo were incredibly welcoming and we hope volunteer with them again soon. Show less

'Donate, Don't Dump' was a campaign featured on Mary Portas' programme Mary, Queen of Charity Shops. I made the connection on behalf of Avery Dennison, Nottingham with Nottinghamshire Hospice and they were thrilled to have us on board as a supporter.

Over the last 9 years I've organised various fundraising activities for the Hospice at my place of work, attended their summer fairs and quiz nights. I rallied together fundraising teams for several of their Moonlight Memory Walks which are always amazing fun and helped to raise great sums for the charity whilst raising awareness as we walk through the streets of Nottingham.

As part of the SAS Big Spring Beach Clean I got involved and volunteered at a beach clean in New Brighton and took along some of my family and friends to support this cause.

My friends and I organised and hosted a Swap Party (clothes, homeware, shoes & accessories) in aid of Alder Hey Children's Charity. We held a raffle with prizes donated by local companies, a cake sale of homemade cakes and other refreshments.
Everyone had so much fun and we raised approx £350 for the charity.

I represented this charity through attending events to share details with attendees about the great support this new charity would be able to provide to the community. I also organised a Zumbathon event to raise awareness and it raised over £300 for the charity.

I led a our charity events team at Avery Dennison in the review, selection and engagement with Groundwork Greater Nottingham as part of our Granting Wishes scheme. In collaboration with the team at Groundwork I completed the application which was successful and the charity received approximately £4,000. I then arranged a volunteering activity where a team from Avery Dennison met with a group of young people to support them in developing an event plan for a charity of their choice.

I had a great time getting to know the team at Groundwork and learning more about the amazing support they provide within the community. I would love the opportunity to work with them again in the future. Show less

In 2012 I led the application for a grant through our programme at Avery Dennison for a local education charity who help young people at crisis point in their education.
