Kristina Stoddern, Director, raises over £600 for Big Help Project!

Kristina Stoddern, one of our 4 Directors, stepped out of her comfort zone on Saturday 29th July to participate in the Liverpool Cathedral Abseil to raise funds for Big Help Project.

Kristina’s aim was to raise £400, which would feed 2 families for a year via one of their Knowsley Foodbank food clubs. Kristina smashed her target raising a fantastic £615 for the BHP ‘Feed a Family’ Campaign, which will help support so many people.

Big Help Project were delighted with the amount Kristina had raised, commenting “Your bravery, by going down the 150 ft Cathedral, will mean we will be able to support and help people that are facing crisis and poverty, thank you.”

Kristina was very grateful for all the donations she received and also to those who attended on the day to show their support.

Well done Kristina, you did amazing.

Huyton and Kirkby branches of Maxwell Hodge Solicitors are delighted to announce their partnership with the Big Help Project/Knowsley Foodbank as their Charity of the Year for 2023 – and are excited for the year ahead!

Dan Eales and Kristina Stoddern recently attended at the foodbank head office to present a cheque for £500 to kick start the partnership, kindly donated by the 4 Directors at Maxwell Hodge.

Kristina Stoddern commented “‘Knowsley Foodbank provide such a vital service in the Huyton and Kirkby areas. Many of our clients are from these areas and may well be using those services. In the current climate, we felt that this charity was definitely one we wanted to support. We have worked with Knowsley Foodbank and the Big Help Project before and have seen first-hand the impact their efforts have on recipients of food parcels, food banks and pantries and the new mums who receive their baby bundles. We are very proud to be assisting in any way we can to make a difference in our communities.”

Being based in the local community, Maxwell Hodge are looking forward to their partnership with the Big Help Project/Knowsley Foodbank.  Michele Duckworth, Head of Corporate Engagement, said “We are delighted that the team at Maxwell Hodge has chosen Big Help Project as their Charity of the Year partner for 2023.  We are looking forward to developing a strong working relationship. The need for our services has grown rapidly since the announcement and subsequent energy price increases, with many people having to choose between buying food, or paying their household bills. This partnership will help us to be able to continue meeting the needs of our community and supporting those most affected by the cost of living crisis.”

WE DID IT! – We smashed our target for our “Group Distance Challenge for Ukraine”

We have now completed our “Group Distance Challenge for Ukraine”.  We had set ourselves a target to raise £2,000 for charity UK-Med who are “a frontline medical aid charity. Born of the NHS, we’ve been working for over 20 years towards a world where everyone has the healthcare they need when crises or disasters hit.”  Thanks to the Directors who gave a generous £1,000 to kick start the fundraising.  The challenge was for our Team to walk, run, cycle, ski, or even roller skate to clock up 1949 miles in 6 weeks – which is the distance from the UK to Ukraine.

We are delighted to announce that we smashed our fundraising goal – raising in excess of £2,500, which is fantastic, AND clocking up an amazing 2,400+ miles!  What an achievement.

Kristina Stoddern, one of our Directors said “All of our staff have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in such a worthy cause.  Everyone looked forward to the weekly updates and we had an internal competition to see which office could clock the most miles.  Formby were our winners!  We are so pleased that we could try and make a small contribution to such a great charity, providing vital front line aid.  Thank you to all our sponsors!”
