\u201cVent-Axia is delighted to support a variety of charities who all do very important work and make a real difference to people\u2019s lives,\u201d said Jenny Smith, Marketing Manager of Vent-Axia. \u201cWe are also happy to be able to support our staff in their own fundraising efforts. They\u2019ve enjoyed putting on a range of activities at our offices to raise funds for worthy causes.\u201d A number of work place events have raised over \u00a31000 for charity. Local Crawley charity, St. Catherine\u2019s Hospice, has benefited from a raffle last year that raised \u00a3208 and a recent bake sale that raised a further \u00a3215. Meanwhile, a Cupcake Day for the Alzheimer\u2019s Society raised \u00a3110 for the charity.<\/p>\n A Christmas Jumper Day collected \u00a3216 for Save the Children and another bake sale raised over \u00a3300 for Surrey-based Story FMR (Funding Melanoma Research), a new charitable organisation that aims to raise awareness of skin cancer including its risks, prevention and treatment, as well as supporting research into skin cancers.<\/p>\n Support from Vent-Axia staff for colleagues undertaking personal challenges has proven a fundraising success too with Paul\u00a0Davis, Vent-Axia\u2019s Northern Regional Sales Director – New Build Residential, smashing his target and raising over \u00a31,400 for Alzheimer\u2019s Research UK by running the Edinburgh Marathon in May 2018.<\/p>\n Plus 2017 also saw Vent-Axia once again helping fund the Christmas Children\u2019s Disco Dancing Competition in aid of Great Ormond Street Children\u2019s Hospital. The annual event sees able bodied schoolchildren disco dancing\u00a0for a day to fundraise for equipment, research and the rebuilding of the hospital, to help other children less fortunate than themselves.<\/p>\n However, Vent-Axia has not only been involved in charity fundraising the company has also donated equipment to worthy causes. Having already appeared in the cult classic, Aliens, the T-series fan is now a film star once more. Vent-Axia donated a T-Series fan to Lucy Skuce, a Vent-Axia fan and a member of Shadowlights, a group of professional artists with learning disabilities in Oxfordshire supported by Film Oxford. The fan featured in her new context film and her large installation project \u201cBlue Sash Window\u201d, both of which will be exhibited at Modern Art Oxford in the autumn.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, hedgehogs have also benefited from Vent-Axia equipment this year and will be keeping warm and snug thanks to a Vent-Axia convector heater which was donated to hedgehog rescue centre, 4 the Love of Hogs, as part of Vent-Axia\u2019s Freebie Friday competition.<\/p>\n Vent-Axia continues to support a range of charities and good causes in 2018 and this includes supporting grass roots football by sponsoring a scheme run by the Phil Pledger Academy which offers access to football coaching to children who might not be able to afford to pay to take part in a football training academy. The Academy, based in Hertfordshire, offers an elite training programme aimed at 5-12 year olds run by FA trained coaches. Through the sponsorship children will be able to benefit from discounted training and a free football kit and football.<\/p>\n Vent-Axia’s headquarters are in Crawley, West Sussex.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ventilation company Vent-Axia, along with many of its staff, have continued to support a range of national and local charities throughout 2017 and is continuing to show this support in 2018.
