2020 has been an extremely challenging year for everyone and we know that many charities are struggling due to a reduction in fundraising activity.

As key workers making components for VentilatorChallengeUK Stratos have been working throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, however, once lockdown restrictions were lifted, the team held a fundraising event for a charity close to their hearts, Focus at Cheltenham and Gloucester Hospitals Charity. 

Focus is the charitable fund for the Gloucestershire Oncology Centre, raising funds to make a direct impact for local cancer patients and their families. Focus aims to create a comfortable environment for all patients and staff by investing in facility improvements, state of the art equipment and additional care above and beyond NHS provision.

Staff at Stratos managed to raise £220, which was then matched by Managing Director Jon Caple, bringing the total raised for the charity to an impressive £440.

Officially receiving the donations,Jan Thomas, Fundraising Support Officer at the charity said,

"Thank you to everyone at Stratos Precision Engineering who took part and donated to the cake sale. Your donations will help make a big difference to the lives of local cancer patients, as well as giving our staff some great news at this time! Thank you so much for supporting us."

Thank you to everyone who donated and thank you to Shelley Vine and Samantha Davis for organising the charity fundraising event back in October.
