For every testing instruction received from family law and social work professionals, AlphaBiolabs enters the customer’s name into a bimonthly draw to win a donation for a charity of their choice.
The latest draw was won by Susie Packer, Chartered Legal Executive at MSB Solicitors in Liverpool, who chose Blackburne House as her nominated charity.
Susie Packer said: ‘Blackburne House does incredible work in the community, instilling women with the confidence to achieve their goals, and providing access to education for women who may otherwise have struggled to pursue a career in their chosen field.’
MSB Solicitors works closely with the charity, hosting weekly drop-in sessions where women can receive legal advice free of charge.
Andrea Rushton, CEO at Blackburne House, said: ‘We are committed to improving the lives of women, equipping them with the confidence they need to live full and independent lives and, in turn, helping them achieve their goals.
‘Donations such as these go a long way to helping us continue that work. We’d like to thank Susie and AlphaBiolabs for this generous contribution.’
Rachel Davenport, director at AlphaBiolabs, said: ‘As a DNA, drug and alcohol testing laboratory, we have seen firsthand the challenges facing women from vulnerable backgrounds.
‘Blackburne House does incredible work supporting and upskilling women across Merseyside, and we are delighted to support them with our latest Giving Back donation.’
The next Giving Back charity draw will take place at the end of February.
AlphaBiolabs has donated £3,000 to six charities as part of its Giving Back campaign over the past 12 months, with St Gemma’s Hospice (Leeds), Child Concern (Manchester), Brent, Wandsworth & Westminster Mind (London), Juno Women’s Aid (Nottingham), Carers Trust (Solihull), and Blackburne House (Liverpool) each receiving a £500 donation.
