For Remembrance Day Lakeside supported the NHS Corporate Hub Remembrance Day Event in the Business Lounge.
The event brought the campus community together to honour those who have served while raising vital funds for veteran charities. Thanks to the generosity of everyone who attended and donated, nearly £500 was raised for this fantastic cause.
Throughout the day, visitors enjoyed a fundraising cake sale, items for sale from the Royal British Legion, a visit from Portsmouth Hospitals Charity, a performance from the military band, a visit from Corporal Louis the support dog and a visit from Andy’s Man Club.
The event also gave us the opportunity to show off the contributions to the community poppy display which features knitted and crocheted poppies from Lakeside occupiers and the wider community. The display is something we are looking to grow year on year.
It was also a pleasure to welcome the Mayor and Councillor Attwell, who joined attendees in supporting the event and its fundraising efforts.
Thank you to everyone who attended, donated and got involved. It was wonderful to see the Lakeside community come together in remembrance and support of such an important cause. Also a huge thank you to the NHS Corporate Hub team for organising such a meaningful event here at Lakeside.
