Charitable work at ILX

In 2021, our team made the decision that we wanted to start giving back! Like many people and organisations, we reflected on what was important to us, and as a company we actively began fundraising for nominated charities. 

Supporting people and communities

Our nominated charity for 2023-24 was The Menopause Charity. The charity provides information, advice, support, and training to those experiencing the menopause and healthcare professionals responsible for treating menopausal individuals.

Over the past two years, through a range of fundraising activities, we have raised over £6,000 for The Menopause Charity.

In addition to this, all staff are entitled to take a day of paid time to volunteer at a charitable organisation of their choice. In August 2024, a group of staff took the day to help at the Swan Lifeline charity in Windsor. Other colleagues also took the opportunity to support causes close to their own hearts.

Fundraising events

Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge

In May 2023, our Sales Director, Sally, and a group of her friends completed the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge, raising a fantastic £1,300.

Stockholm Marathon

In June, our Senior Training Advisor, Josh, took on the Stockholm Marathon. Completing the race in 26-degree heat and raising over £700.

Mad May March

Our team walked the length of Britain and back again this May, covering a total of 3,000km and raising over £500 for The Menopause Charity.

Pub quizzes

Members of our marketing and sales teams ran two pub quizzes over the last year, and managed to raise over £1,700 between them.

Photography competition

Our team took some beautiful photos over the Summer in four categories: pets, sunsets, wildlife and holiday, raising £150. Raffles At every large company event, including Christmas and Summer parties, we organise a raffle raising approximately £500 each time.
