TIPTO has overtaken its previous fundraising total for long term charity partner, Reuben’s Retreat, presenting the team with a cheque for £6,355. This record total was collected across the last 12 months via the charitable efforts of the TIPTO team, its supplier members and its agent friends who all generously took part in the Roadshow and SuperShow charity raffles, as well as making one off cash contributions via TIPTO’s text donation service.
TIPTO has supported Reuben’s Retreat since 2012 and the team is proud to have a running fundraising total of more than £28,000, which supports the charity’s continued dedication to families that have lost a child and families that face an uncertain future, with their child or children living with medical complexities. Reuben’s is currently supporting 697 individuals and 100% of the funds raised will be used in the continued support these families to include the provision of 15 stalwart initiatives, seasonal events, bespoke activities and tailored one to one support. It will also help Reuben’s Retreat realise the completion of its vision and the final stages of its ambitious build project to construct four on site suites for families to holiday together, creating treasured memories and moments as they relax, recharge, remember and rebuild.
Nicola Graham, Reuben’s mummy and Founder of Reuben’s Retreat, says: “TIPTO’s ongoing fundraising support is invaluable to us. Year on Year TIPTO suppliers and its agent community give generously, with every penny raised supporting the vital work we do with our beneficiary families. Families that have a complexly poorly child and may face an uncertain future, and families that lose a child. We invest and spend every penny with integrity. Supporting each family with bespoke and tailor-made offerings. Each unique on their journey, trusting us to walk with them for as long as they need us. These monies raised mean that our vital work continues and can also evolve. We listen to our families with our hearts and ears, and they lead all the work that we do here. Our wins are big for them, and we strive to be our best. Those supporting us through TIPTO allow us to be able to do this for them. Thank you TIPTO”
