AN ASHTON-BASED paralegal is helping support cancer care, treatment and research across the North West with a £500 donation thanks to a unique charity initiative.
Lily Wilson, part of the Childcare Team at Bromleys Solicitors LLP, was randomly selected in AlphaBiolabs’s latest draw that empowers legal professionals to ‘win’ a £500 donation for their chosen charity.
She nominated The Christie Charity to receive the money from the drug, alcohol and DNA testing laboratory, which enters customer’s name into its bimonthly Giving Back draw for every testing instruction received from family law and social work professionals.
Lily said: “The Christie Charity is Bromleys’ charity of the year, and we’re really pleased to be able to support them through AlphaBiolabs’ Giving Back campaign.
“The work done by the charity has such a positive impact on so many cancer patients and their families, so it’s great to see them benefit from this donation.”
John Ashley, Corporate Fundraising Manager at The Christie Charity, said: “We’re extremely grateful to Lily and AlphaBiolabs, as we rely on contributions like this to fund pioneering cancer research, invest in specialist equipment and facilities, and enhance the care provided for people affected by cancer across the region.”
Rachel Davenport, Director at AlphaBiolabs, said: “The Christie Charity supports one of Europe’s leading cancer centres and plays a vital role within the North West community. We’re proud to play a small part in supporting such an important organisation.”
Headquartered in Warrington, AlphaBiolabs is one of the UK’s leading providers of drug, alcohol and DNA testing services for members of the public, the legal sector, social workers, and the workplace.
