Foundation Vice Chair raising funds for NHS, the Foundation and his local club, please support.
ONLY ONE WEEK TO GO
Adrain Stores, our Foundation Vice Chair and his son have set themselves a challenge during May to raise funds for 3 organisations the NHS, the VE Foundation and his local club Stockport Sport.
Adrian said ‘Our World in 2020 has been turned upside down with the pandemic of coronavirus (Covid 19). Of course, we religiously clap for the front-line workers, the NHS, who put their lives on the line day-in, day-out, for the health of the Nation. To that end it is only correct that the first beneficiary should be Stockport NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Fund (Critical Care Unit - and also Tree House Paediatric Unit [Registered charity number 1048661]).
As well as families and lives being decimated by the virus - individuals and communities nationwide have felt isolated and in fear of lockdown, as they anxiously await for some kind of normality to resume. Volleyball clubs thoughout the Country have naturally ceased all activities, and we have witnessed the social-exclusion and damage to health and welfare, when for some volleyball is their escape and only social interaction in daily lives and routines. The landscape has suggested that some clubs may never return from this challenge, as it was both unexpected and unprecedented for any organisation. Thus, Volleyball England Foundation [Registered charity number 1138864] is the second beneficary.
Finally, continuing the theme of keeping it local, we have selected our very own, not for profit enterprise, Stockport Volleyball Club as a recipient of an equal share of any funds. It is one of the fastest growing clubs in the Country, uses four venues throughout the Borough, bringing exercise and recreation to children and adults of all ability, people of varying genders, ages and ethic origin. A phenomenal 'vehicle' for bringing joy and structure in lives in Stockport and Manchester.’
