This Easter, the Wates SmartSpace team once again came together to host their much-anticipated annual Easter Raffle, raising funds for a cause close to many hearts—CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young). Through the incredible generosity of staff, friends, and supporters, the team raised over £400 via their JustGiving page, with more than 600 raffle tickets sold across the country.
The event was a true team effort, uniting colleagues from northern offices, southern hubs, and project sites nationwide in a shared mission to make a difference. The celebration not only highlighted the spirit of giving but also strengthened the sense of community within the company.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to the kind-hearted members of the Supply Chain—Centrum Plus Ltd, Collister North West Ltd, Ellbee Capital Services Ltd, and Billington Structures Ltd—whose contributions made the raffle truly special. Their donated prizes, ranging from indulgent chocolate hampers and £100 gift vouchers to stylish coffee machines, added an extra layer of excitement to the day.
The prize draw itself was marked by joy and camaraderie, complete with a delicious buffet for attending staff. The spread featured a delightful mix of hot cross buns, savoury treats, and a standout homemade cornflake cake that brought a nostalgic touch to the table.
While a few lucky winners walked away with prizes, the real reward was the collective effort toward a worthy cause. The atmosphere was full of warmth and gratitude, reflecting the team’s dedication to giving back and supporting young lives through CRY’s vital work.
