At Colloide, we consistently make a yearly commitment to support a charity selected by our employees. This is not only through raising funds but also by significantly increasing awareness of their noble cause. Consequently, this year, we are absolutely delighted to reveal that our dedicated efforts have indeed enabled us to raise an impressive sum for Rossmar School in Limavady.

Our Fundraising Journey, Goals, and Activities

Our goal was to raise money to provide outdoor play and sensory equipment for pupils at Rossmar School. A bucket collection and raffle were carried out to achieve this. On the 4th of December 2024, Colloide staff members came together at Asda in Coleraine to generate awareness of the school and raise funds in the process. Colloide also conducted our yearly Christmas raffle, selling tickets through online donations and raffle sheets. Twelve prizes were kindly contributed by local businesses for the raffle.
