Giving back with AlphaBiolabs’ charity draw: May 2025

AlphaBiolabs supports children’s Hospice with £500 donation

AlphaBiolabs has made a significant contribution to Haven House Children’s Hospice in London through its unique charity initiative, the Giving Back campaign.

The company donated £500 to the hospice, which provides vital care for seriously ill children, thanks to the support of legal professionals involved in the campaign.

The Giving Back campaign by AlphaBiolabs allows family law and social work professionals to participate in a bimonthly draw. For every testing instruction received, the customer's name is entered into the draw to win a donation for their preferred charity. In the latest draw, Alistair Banks, a Family Law Consultant at Edwards Duthie Shamash Solicitors, was selected and chose Haven House Children’s Hospice.

Dominique Pharoah, Corporate Partnerships Manager at Haven House Children’s Hospice, said: “Contributions like this help fund specialist care for children living with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, allowing us to provide valuable support wherever and whenever our families need us. We’re incredibly grateful to Alistair and AlphaBiolabs for their donation.”

Rachel Davenport, Director at AlphaBiolabs, said: “Charities like Haven House play a fundamental role in the community, providing the highest quality palliative and holistic care services for families navigating the most challenging of circumstances. We’re proud to recognise the work of Haven House with our latest Giving Back donation.”

The next Giving Back charity draw will take place at the end of June.
