Taylor Hobson donate nearly £9,000 to Bamboozle!

Taylor Hobson, a Leicester company making ultra-precision technology, have made a significant boost to our fundraising income for the year, by donating almost £9,000 raised through their payroll giving scheme.

Taylor Hobson first donated to Bamboozle back in 2017, when Jain Burdett, the company’s Special Applications Project Leader, got in touch to let us know that we’d been selected as the beneficiary of the company’s payroll giving scheme.  We were delighted!

Jain found out about Bamboozle when researching local charities to support; “when we speak to our members who donate through the payroll giving scheme, they are always keen for donations to support local charities who make a difference to the lives of children and young people”.

We then benefitted again from the scheme in May 2018, with a further dotation in 2019 of £500 from Ian Lee-Bennett, Business Director at Taylor Hobson, who generously donated his fee for presenting at the annual conference of the Medical Science Liaison Association (MSLA).

We invited members of the Taylor Hobson team along to our Showcase performance of our show Storm which we presented at Curve in August 2019:

Jain went on to say “following our viewing of Storm, we were amazed at how the Bamboozle team engaged with each child individually throughout the show; with Arts organisations being particularly hit due to the Global pandemic, we couldn’t think of a more worthwhile cause to benefit from the payroll giving scheme”.

On returning to Bamboozle HQ in January, the team where astonished to have received a cheque for £8881, bringing the total donated by the company over the past four years to an amazing £14,527!

We’d like to send a huge thank you to all of the team at Taylor Hobson for helping to secure our 2021 Programme!
