2011 Charity - The Turnaround Foundation
In 2010 we launched the Turnaround Foundation, in 2011 we have been fundraising for 2 very worthy projects. At the end of 2011 we aim to have provided the funds for a new climbing wall at Lineham Farm in North Leeds for the children visiting there. The wall has been specially adapted to enable children with disabilities the chance to use it. We have also spent the year supporting the Create foundation, our funds raised in 2011 through the Abbey Dash Leeds 10k and the Yorkshire Saint Nick Awards will go to Create and will support 5 vulnerable and homeless people through the Create Academy, find out more about Create by visiting their website. Any additional funds will go towards the 2012 projects, to be announced soon.
2010 charity - the turnaround foundation and the army benevolent fund
The Turnaround Foundation is a newly established charity founded by the partners at Endless with a focus on helping individuals turnaround their lives and overcome adversity. Initial projects are expected to focus on specific aims around education and re-employment, in and around the Leeds area. We feel that both areas are closely aligned to the restructuring world and hope to garner support from across the professional community.
Endless will be contributing significant funding annually and more details on the focus of the charity, its aims and how people can get involved will be available in due course.
The Saint Nick Awards will also be raising money for the Army Benevolent Fund.
ABF The Soldiers' Charity is there for solidiers with lifetime support whether they be serving soldiers or veterans. They offer their hand to them as individuals and, when they need help, for their families. They stand by them in conflict and in peacetime, throughout their lives.
The immediate help they offer is a lifeline. But they also look to the future too, keeping ahead of the game, finding the best ways to give medical, technical and financial support to give the best possible outlook for the men and women who sacrifice so much for us. Soldiers and their family and the support we give makes a huge difference to their lives.
2009 charity - Breast Cancer Haven
Breast Cancer Haven was founded by Sara Davenport in 1997. The idea for the charity came following the experience of her children's nanny, Wendy Ricketts, who was diagnosed with the illness. Sara was concerned by the lack of emotional support and information available to people with breast cancer. Believing that "no-one should have to face breast cancer alone", Sara sold her art business and put all of her energy into creating Breast Cancer Haven. In 2009 the Saint Nick Awards made a £10,000 donation to Breast Cancer Haven.
2008 Charity - the british heart foundation
In 2008 we raised over £6,000 for the British Heart Foundation. The British Heart Foundation was the Charity of choice for Phil Tate's family, Phil was a founding member of Endless LLP and tragically died in 2008 in a skiing accident.
2007 charity - Jane's AppeaL
In 2007 we raised £10,000 for Jane's Appeal.
