CHARITY GOAL FOR BOND IT

Staff from Bond It have helped raise money for a worthy cause . A team drawn from across the manufacturer of sealants , adhesives and building chemicals took part in a five-a-side football tournament for Bond It ’ s chosen charity , Overgate Hospice .
Located in Elland , West Yorkshire , close to Bond It ’ s head office and main manufacturing site , Overgate Hospice provides specialist palliative care to adults suffering from progressive , life-limiting illnesses . To ensure its care is as widely accessible as possible , the hospice - which celebrates its 35th anniversary in 2016 - delivers its service free of charge .
It is funded largely by the local community with some additional support from the NHS . In total , 15 teams from locally based businesses took part in the three-hour tournament . The Bond It team finished second overall . They lost in the final to RSA Insurance who took away the Overgate Hospice Trophy . Speaking of the company ’ s support , Graham Helm , operations director at Bond It , said : “ Bond It has been an on-going supporter of
Overgate Hospice for a number of years and our participation in the charity football tournament continues that relationship . This reflects a strong belief in corporate social
responsibility which is all part and parcel of Bond It ’ s wider quality focused approach .” The football tournament helped raise over £ 1,000 for the hospice
which will be used towards running costs .
