Thanks to its ever popular Christmas charity advent calendar, employees of Apogee raised a total of £3726 for the Crisis UK charity in December 2020.

The festive fundraiser encouraged Apogee employees to buy raffle tickets for a chance to win one of the prizes hidden behind the advent calendar doors, with at least one winner drawn at random each day of December all the way up to Christmas Eve. Prizes, which included an Apple iPad, luxury festive hampers and Virgin Experience Days, were donated from a number of key partners and suppliers enabling all money raised to go straight to Crisis UK who help those most vulnerable throughout the festive period.

Following a very challenging year for many people around the world, Apogee was delighted to support Crisis UK which offers support and guidance to homeless people around the UK.

‘After a difficult year for many people across the UK I am especially grateful to all those who donated and supported our Christmas fundraiser this year, raising money for such an important cause,’ said Dom Gryszan, Apogee’s marketing director. ‘After running two similarly successful events we set ourselves a much higher target in 2020 and managed to smash it half way through the month! It has been a tough year without a doubt, but I am incredibly proud of Team Apogee for the amount raised and the difference it made to so many lives over the Christmas period.’

Richard Lee, Director of Fundraising at Crisis UK, added: ‘We are extremely grateful to everyone who gave their support at Christmas. With your help, we were able to give people a Crisis Christmas with friendship and support, food and crucial advice. Christmas is just the beginning – now we will be working with people throughout the year, helping them to leave homelessness behind for good.’
