For every testing instruction received from family law and social work professionals, AlphaBiolabs enters the customer’s name into its bimonthly Giving Back draw to ‘win’ a £500 donation for their chosen charity.
Isabella Whitehurst, a Family Paralegal at Foys Solicitors—which has offices in Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire and Derbyshire—was randomly selected in the company’s latest draw and nominated Nottinghamshire Women’s Aid to receive the donation.
The charity delivers the county’s frontline domestic-abuse response, with 24-hour refuges in Bassetlaw and Mansfield, providing emergency accommodation for women, children and young people escaping violence. Its specialist team also provides round-the-clock practical and emotional support, including Independent Domestic Violence Advisors, sanctuary schemes and legal-and-welfare advice surgeries.
Isabella said: 'I chose to support Nottinghamshire Women’s Aid because of the positive feedback I’ve heard from those who have engaged with their services. Everyone I’ve spoken to has shared how the support they received impacted their lives. Their work also creates a lasting, positive impact within the local community.'
Mandy Green, Head of Service at Nottinghamshire Women’s Aid, said: 'We are immensely grateful to Isabella for putting our name forward to receive a donation via AlphaBiolabs’ Giving Back campaign. Contributions like this make a real difference, enabling us to keep our refuges open, and extend vital community outreach to women, children and young people experiencing domestic abuse across North Nottinghamshire. And knowing that legal professionals recognise and value our work really means a lot to us.'
Rachel Davenport, Director at AlphaBiolabs, said: 'By combining refuge, community outreach and education, Nottinghamshire Women’s Aid has spent four decades ensuring families across North Nottinghamshire can live in a safer environment. We are proud to support such critical work with our latest Giving Back donation.'
The next Giving Back winner will be announced in early September.
