So, when news broke that the palletised distribution specialists had been nominated for the Examiner Community Award, they were over the moon! The Community Award honours the continued efforts made by regional businesses to raise money for schemes which have a positive impact on the community. Packaging company, Disposables UK Group based in Meltham and Indian Restaurant Temujin in Milnsbridge are The Pink Link Ltd’s competition. Over the past 7 years, The Pink Link Ltd has raised £55,000 for charities both regionally and nationally. One fund raising event which always exceeds expectation is its bi-annual Pink Ball held during October, National Breast Cancer Awareness month, every other year. The event is an open invitation for local business people, colleagues, friends and family to let their hair down, have fun and most importantly raise money for the local community. Cumulatively, both Pink October 2003 and Pink October 2005 raised £20,500 for charity. However it was Pink October 2007 which surpassed all expectations - raising an astonishing £21,000, more than the previous 2 events put together! The money raised at Pink October 2007 went to a number of local charities including HRI Breast Cancer Care Fund, Kirklees Hospice, Laura Crane, Forget Me-Not and the Dominic Rodgers Trust. Since 2005, The Pink Link Ltd employees have also ran 3 “race for life’s” which raised £2,500 for Cancer Research UK and in June this year, Vicki Davenport, Sales & Commercial Director and Driver, James Atherton joined forces and completed the Jane Tomlinson Run in Leeds, raising £2,500 for Jane’s Appeal which donates to a range of children’s and cancer charities.
