LCF: Fundraising round-up 2023

Established in 2016, the Lodders Charitable Foundation (LCF) supports regional charities that make a real difference in their communities.

Since it was founded, the LCF has donated more than £75,000 to these local, independent charities. All trustees of the LCF are members of the Lodders family, and we are proud that many Lodders employees are actively involved in the Foundation’s activities. This year, we ran a number of successful events including the family fun day and dog show, and a quiz night.

Family fun

It is often said that charity begins at home, and whilst that may be true, we were delighted to see so many families venture out to join our family fun day and dog show. Attended by around 200 people, the family fun day was action-packed and offered something for everyone. Children enjoyed the bouncy castle and scavenger hunt and families and their canine companions took part in our annual charity dog walk and dog show.

Held at Lodders Barn, the dog show featured a number of new classes, including a category for the dog that looks most like their owner! We were pleased to give out some lovely prizes to deserving winners on the day.

All donations went to the LCF and were split between Stratford Food Bank, NetworkFour, and Home-Start South Warwickshire. We would like to thank everyone who volunteered to help make the event a success.

Quiz time

In April, more than 80 Lodders employees participated in the annual LCF Quiz at The Embankment, Stratford. With quiz rounds ranging from music and films to history and sport, our general knowledge was well-tested, all for the benefit of our chosen charity, Home-Start South Warwickshire.

Congratulations to our worthy winners, Sarah J Hawkins, Steph Smith, Sophie Hughes, Caroline Payne, Clare Tyas, and her partner Mark Golder, who were on team Never Gonna Quiz You Up.
