SIA Members Raise £2,000 for Diabetes UK

Proceeds from the traditional Solvents Industry Association raffle raised a fantastic total of £2,000 for Diabetes UK at the recent Annual General Meeting & Conference at Worsley Park, near Manchester.

SIA Chief Executive, Andrew Norman said, ‘We chose the charity as the recipient of the SIA raffle proceeds this year as several of our Members were undertaking the Diabetes UK ‘Million Steps Challenge’ in their lunch breaks and free time. When we announced this to the wider membership, it became clear that diabetes has a wide effect on a large number of people and the support of this excellent charity has been invaluable to many of our members and their families.’

Maria Whittaker, Community Fundraising Manager, North of England & Wales with Diabetes UK said, ‘Thank you so much for the amazing success of your raffle. It is wonderful to hear how generous people have been.’

The SIA would like to thank the following people & companies, who kindly donated some wonderful raffle prizes to ensure the success of the event:

Bernadette Goudy @ Auriga UK, Delta Hotels by Marriott, Elaflex, Kimia, Lisam, Chris Franks & MannTek, Sharon Marshall and Tennants Distribution.
