SciQuip supports a number of local and science related charities:

SciQuip Donates £500 to Meals on Wheels Scheme in Wem

We are proud to announce that SciQuip has made a donation of £500 to the Meals on Wheels scheme run by Wem Town Hall. Our donation will go towards providing meals for those in need in the local area.

The Meals on Wheels scheme is an essential service that has been running for many years, providing hot meals for people who are unable to prepare meals for themselves. The scheme relies on the support of donations from the local community in order to continue providing this much-needed service.

SciQuip Supports North Shropshire's Trussell Trust Foodbank

SciQuip, a leading laboratory equipment supplier, has recently donated £500 worth of food and household supplies to The Trussell Trust Foodbank in Whitchurch. The donation was made in response to the ongoing demand for foodbank services, particularly in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Trussell Trust Foodbank provides emergency food and support to people in crisis across North Shropshire, Cheshire, and Wales. The Foodbank was started 10 years ago with the support of the Trussell Trust and Churches Together in Whitchurch. Since then, it has grown to cover a significant area, providing vital support to those in need.

 SciQuip's 3 Peaks Challenge

Thanks to all who supported and sponsored the Team for our 3 Peaks Challenge, helping raise over £3000 here is a little summary and some great pictures from the event:

collage Peaks

 

Leaving Newtown at 10:00 on Friday, 3rd July we arrived in Fort William at 19:30. After some final checks we began our first climb to the top of Ben Nevis in brilliant sunshine and temperatures of 24oC. The team reached the top in under 3 hrs, where the temperature had dropped considerably and we were now standing in 3ft of snow, being buffeted by strong winds! We completed Ben Nevis in 4hrs 48mins coming down to some spectacular views of the Scottish Highlands.
All aboard the minibus once more and on to Scafell Pike in the Lake District, again with beautiful sunshine at the bottom and thick cloud at the top we got up and down in under 4hrs and so finally on to Snowdon, Wales. Some people found the final climb of Snowdon tough after a lack of sleep and 2 mountains already under their belts but our fantastic team spirit kept everyone going and all nine members of the team completed the 24hr challenge in 23hrs 43mins 43 secs. We should also mention our driver, Sarah Evans who did an excellent job covering almost 1,000 miles in 24hrs.
So far the team has raised £3000+ from sponsorship with all the proceeds going to the Creative Studio build for Newtown Primary School.
It is an amazing achievement in itself for all members of a team to finish the challenge let alone for all to do so within the 24hr time limit. Therefore, I would personally like to thank all of those who joined me in the challenge for their fantastic spirit throughout and brilliant fund raising efforts, well done.
The team:
Matt Brooksbank, Deb Brooksbank, Donna Reynolds, Jayne Camber, Fiona MacLiam, Cayley Lay, Amanda Teece, Martin Teece, Katie Ellis & Sarah Evans

African Cycle Challenge

SciQuip’s Marketing Director, Deb Brooksbank has taken part in a cycle challenge from Dar es Salaam in Tanzania to the Island of Zanzibar to raise much needed funds for Genesis Research Trust. The cycle challenge took place over 5 days in November 2014 and covered approximately 500kms.. We raised almost £4000.00 for this worthwhile charity.

Friends of Newtown School

Friends of Newtown School

Friends of Newtown School are a parent / teacher group who aim to raise funds for the school. SciQuip provides support and sponsorship for annual events such as the Summer Barbeque, Easter Fair, School Ball and Christmas events.

In 2015 we found out that they were desperate for additional space for creative learning and pre/post-school activities and the team at SciQuip couldn’t wait to help in any way they could!

Unfortunately, the school didn’t have the funds for such an ambitious project so the PTA decided to try to fund the project for the school. They then approached our Managing Director Matt Brooksbank who agreed to run the project and assist in the fundraising.

In addition to financial donation from SciQuip, some of SciQuip’s staff (including Matt) joined the school on the build itself!

Severn Hospice

Severn Hospice

Severn Hospice is an independent local charity caring for people who are living with complex and progressive terminal illness. They are not funded by the NHS and therefore rely entirely on external funding. In previous years SciQuip has purchased all its Christmas cards from Severn Hospice. However we now use online media to send Christmas Greetings to avoid purchasing and postage of Christmas cards. All the money saved is donated to Severn Hospice thereby increasing the total monetary donation.

Shropshire Wildlife Trust

Shropshire Wildlife Trust

SciQuip makes an annual donation to the local Shropshire Wildlife Trust, which looks after 40 nature reserves in the area. They campaign for the protection of wildlife and the environment, something close to the company values at SciQuip.
