£684 Raised for MacMillan!

The team at Avonside Health Centre have raised a fantastic £684 for MacMillan Cancer Support by hula-hooping for 15 minutes a day throughout July.

Lauren Field (Operations Manager) organised the fundraiser after seeing the charity appeal online. Knowing that the charity has helped so many patients and staff, a target of £500 was set and the team got involved, raising a fantastic £684 for the charity.

Lots of our team got involved and began challenging each other. Our Senior Healthcare Assistant, Sophie, even managed to hula-hoop on one leg! Hidden talents were also revealed when it was discovered that Dr Colliver had previously won a social talent show with her hula-hooping.

Our Social Prescriber, Leanne, summed up the challenge; “to have been a part of the Avonside Hula Hoop Challenge has been such an amazing way to raise money for such a great cause like Macmillan. It has been super fun and such a great way to bond with the team. Even after the bruises, we have stayed strong and always continued to laugh. Thank you to everyone who supported us!”
