TRAD UK Hits £30,000 in Annual Fundraising Challenge

The company raised target three times as employees and clients went above and beyond for Duchenne UK.

TRAD UK has reached the end of its fundraising campaign for Duchenne UK with an amazing total of £30,000. The charity was chosen because of its support for Thomas, son of two TRAD employees, who was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy 18 months ago.

Starting with an initial target of £7,000, TRAD has had to raise the target three times, and has been overwhelmed by the support from both employees, clients and suppliers during the fundraising year.

“I’m incredibly proud of the team at TRAD,” says MD Colin Dobson. “They have been an incredible support to Danielle and Liam, Thomas’s parents, and they have made so much effort to raise money for this very special charity. We’ve been blown away by the engagement across the business – and from our loyal clients and suppliers – to help us reach this fantastic goal.”

The final fundraising challenge of the year was on March 14th where six of TRAD’s team took part in a skydive at UK Parachuting in Peterborough. Congratulations to Darren Cooper, Cameron Stuart, Tom Mason, Kyle Sykes, Martin Riches and Ian Given, who represented TRAD from across the country!

The money raised will go towards Duchenne UK’s research into the condition, and Thomas’s parents are delighted to be able to make such a huge contribution to the charity’s work.

“When we originally asked TRAD if they would consider sponsoring Duchenne UK, we weren’t expecting to raise anything like this amount,” says Danielle, Thomas’s Mum. “We would have been so grateful for any amount, but £30,000 is just an incredible amount and it will help the charity do so much for children like Thomas. We couldn’t be more thankful to everyone at TRAD and everyone else who has supported this amazing cause.”

TRAD’s new fundraising partner will be announced in April.
