Mental health charity Mind BWW has received a £500 donation from drug, alcohol and DNA testing laboratory, AlphaBiolabs as part of its Giving Back campaign
For every testing instruction AlphaBiolabs receives from family law and social work professionals, the customer's name is entered into a bimonthly draw and a customer randomly selected to nominate a charity of their choice.
Winner of this bimonthly charity draw is Sophie Sibley (pictured), a solicitor at London law firm, Hanne & Co.. Sophie nominated Mind in Brent, Wandsworth & Westminster (Mind BWW) to receive the £500 donation.
Sophie said: ‘Hanne & Co. has been in Wandsworth for over 126 years, and our local community is incredibly important to us. Mind BWW is our charity of the year, and the work it does profoundly impacts our community, providing essential support and resources to those in need.
‘This donation will help Mind BWW expand its reach, offer more services, and make a tangible difference in the lives of individuals struggling with mental health issues’.
Charlotte Fletcher, Director of Business Development & Innovation at Mind BWW, said: ‘The importance of donations like this cannot be underestimated. We would like to thank Sophie and AlphaBiolabs for their support as we work to improve mental health and wellbeing for communities in the heart of London.’
Rachel Davenport, Director at AlphaBiolabs, said: ‘Looking out for the wellbeing of others is an integral part of what we do as a business, and we are proud to contribute to a cause that is so closely aligned with our own values.’
The next Giving Back charity draw will take place at the end of August.
