Raising funds for local charities across the UK
You see, every Pickerings Lifts office is embedded in the local area, and there’s a deep vein of giving back to your community and region ingrained in our staff.
We have twelve local lift servicing, maintenance and repair offices spread across England, Scotland and Wales.
A further two loading systems offices serving the north and south of the UK, installing and servicing scissor lifts, dock levellers and loading bays country-wide
And we also have a Mobility maintenance division covering the M62 and Yorkshire.
We live and work directly alongside our customers.
And that means we have a vested interest in helping our local communities and regions.

Of course, over the past eighteen months everyone has had their hands full just coping with the pandemic.
And that means we can’t do all the traditional things we would do… cake stands… summer fete games… going around the offices collecting cash donations.
We’ve pulled together over fifty different prizes, and we’re raffling them to staff across all the offices… £1 for five tickets.
Staff pay online through either JustGiving or Gofundme, so we never have to handle any cash, and all they do is leave their names. We sort out all their tickets for them behind-the-scenes.
Here’s just a few of the prizes…
And there’s plenty more where they came from!
Before we’ve even had chance to put our first internal email out, we’ve already had donations from a dozen staff, in excess of £200.
The Pickerings Lifts Summer Raffle will take place, on Thursday 8 July 2021.
We would love and encourage anybody reading this post to kindly donate to the charities involved, after all, they are in your region, and I know any support from you would be greatly received… but we need to state that the raffle part of the charity event is for Pickerings Lifts staff members only.
If you do donate however, we will give you a shout out on Twitter!
Thank you
