Giving back with AlphaBiolabs’ charity draw: March 2024

AlphaBiolabs has made its first Giving Back charity donation of 2024, with winner Andrew Sibson choosing Leeds hospice St Gemma’s for the award

The DNA, drug and alcohol testing provider runs a bimonthly charity draw. For every testing instruction received from its family law and social work customers this year, AlphaBiolabs will enter their name into the draw. The winner can then nominate a charity of their choice to receive a £500 donation.

Sibson, a legal officer at Leeds City Council, nominated St Gemma’s, one of the largest hospices in the UK.

Hannah Corne, corporate fundraising manager at St Gemma’s, said: ‘As an independent charity, donations of this kind make a big impact, enabling us to provide the best possible care for local people living with cancer and other life-threatening or life-limiting illnesses.

‘The money will be put towards the continued care of our patients.’

Rachel Davenport, director at AlphaBiolabs, said: ‘St Gemma’s Hospice does valuable work in Leeds, providing care for local people with life-limiting and terminal illnesses, and we are pleased to support their work via Andrew’s donation.’

The next charity draw will take place in April.
