£2k-plus for charity after IT upgrade

Tillotts Pharma UK – a specialist gastrointesnal health company – made the donation after recycling and re-selling (at affordable prices) its outgoing kit, helping increase access to much-needed IT equipment at this time.

In all, a sum of £2,320 was presented to Crohn’s & Colitis UK, the UK’s leading charity for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

Jeremy Thorpe, Tillotts Pharma UK managing director said: “The past year has been difficult for everybody, especially for organisations that rely on fundraising and donations.

“We are dedicated to supporting charities such Crohn’s & Colitis UK, as part of our commitment to improving the lives of people living with gastrointestinal diseases. We are delighted to provide much needed support to patient organisations, whilst doing our bit for the environment and avoiding waste.”

Crohn’s & Colitis UK were selected to receive the donation for the work it does to support the estimated 500,000 people who are living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis across the UK.

Natasha Cockram, corporate partnership officer, said: “We are extremely grateful to Tillotts Pharma UK for this generous donation. It’s always great to hear about the innovative ways our supporters fundraise for us – this is a fantastic example. Thank you Tillotts Pharma UK!”

In addition to this donation, Tillotts Pharma UK says it is proud to further support Crohn’s & Colitis UK by providing funding for its helpline service.
