iCandy donates £5000 to The Lullaby Trust this Christmas
In a bid to support bereaved parents, iCandy, the luxury British pushchair manufacturer, has kindly donated £5,000 to The Lullaby Trust.
Contributing through The Big Give, iCandy were able to double their donation to £10,000 – for three days, donations were matched pound for pound through ‘The Big Give Christmas challenge.’ Donations from £5 to £5,000 were generously given.
Altogether the challenge raised a staggering £60,000 for bereaved families.
The Lullaby Trust supports families by offering them a unique range of services. Their experienced team provides a free bereavement helpline, offers one-to-one support to newly bereaved families through their Befriender Programme and organises family days out for families to gain a support network in their local area.
Delighted to be a part of The Big Give, Martin Boyle, the Managing Director of iCandy World said: “We believe our responsibility extends beyond our travel systems, and take our position as a leading figure in the parenting arena seriously. We strive to support parents and their children on their life journey wherever we are able to through our patronage of key charities such as The Lullaby Trust.”
The Lullaby Trust’s, Chief Executive Officer, Francine Bates OBE, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be working with such an iconic nursery brand. iCandy is a family business and their generous donation will help us to provide much needed funds for our bereavement support service.”
