2024 has been an incredible year of giving back at Crystal Galleries, with our team stepping up to support a range of meaningful causes. From festive fundraising to physically demanding challenges, we’re proud of the contributions we’ve made as a company, alongside the generosity of our amazing team and customers.
Here’s a look back at our charity efforts this year, including the total raised and the impact of your support.
Charity Highlights from 2024
1. Christmas Jumper Day
Our team embraced the festive spirit by donning their most colourful jumpers for Christmas Jumper Day, raising £31 to close out the year. This small but meaningful effort added to a year of impactful fundraising and brought a little cheer to our office.
2. Macmillan Coffee Morning
In September, we hosted a successful Macmillan Coffee Morning, raising £65 through team donations and sweet treats. Crystal Galleries match-funded this total, bringing it to £130 for Macmillan’s vital cancer support services.
3. Football Shirt Day
Our love of sport shone through on Football Shirt Day, where our team raised £63, match-funded to £126 to support grassroots football and community initiatives.
4. Red Nose Day
We joined millions across the UK to support Red Nose Day, raising £78, which was match-funded to £156, helping to tackle poverty and support vital community projects.
5. Supporting Butterwick Hospice and The Teesside Charity
Our ongoing partnerships with Butterwick Hospice and The Teesside Charity saw us contribute to their essential work throughout the year. Key activities included:
Annual Charity Golf Day: Our team participated in the charity’s annual golf day, supporting its fundraising efforts.
The Great North Run: Ben completed this iconic half marathon, raising vital funds for The Teesside Charity.
100km Walk for Dementia UK: Ben took on a gruelling 24-hour, 100km walk, raising funds for Dementia UK to support families facing dementia.
6. CAUSE Hamper Donation
Instead of sending corporate Christmas cards, we made a donation to the CAUSE Hamper Foundation, helping families and individuals in need this holiday season.
Total Raised in 2024
Through a combination of events, challenges, and ongoing efforts, we raised a total of £237. With Crystal Galleries’ commitment to match-funding, this total was doubled to an incredible £474.
A Heartfelt Thank You
We want to thank our team, customers and community for their generosity and support. Every donation, every event and every moment of participation has made a difference, and we’re so proud of what we’ve achieved together.
As we head into 2025, we’re excited to continue our charity efforts, supporting both local and national causes that make a real difference. If you have ideas for charities or initiatives you’d like to see us support, we’d love to hear from you.
This year has been a testament to the power of teamwork and compassion. From baking cakes to running marathons, our efforts have shown that giving back isn’t just important – it’s at the heart of what makes Crystal Galleries special.
