    Claire House Easter Egg Fund-raiser

    In preparation for Easter, One City Place held a fund-raiser in support of Claire House – a local children’s hospice supporting seriously and terminally ill children and their families.

    One City Place’s building manager coordinated donations of chocolate Easter eggs from occupants, including SL Investment Management (“SL”), RSM UK and Sykes Cottages. These were donated to children receiving care in hospital over Easter, unable to make it home with their families.

    Nicola Lacey, Administration Manager at SL said,

    “We’ve supported Claire House for a number of years through various fund raising initiatives, so it was great to be involved in the Easter egg appeal. A small but important gesture.

    “The Claire House team do a fantastic job in supporting children and families who find themselves, through no fault of their own, under very difficult circumstances. We’re privileged to have made a small contribution in support of the team and their work over the years.”

    When Claire House Children’s Hospice opened in December 1998 they were only looking after 10 families. They now support over 400.

    Whether they’re a trustee or a carer, a fundraiser or an administrative assistant, every member of the Claire House team has one thing in common: a passion for improving the lives and making a difference to children and families who need it most.

    Claire House Children’s Hospice helps seriously and terminally ill children make the most of the time they have however long or short that may be. By providing specialist nursing and end of life care, as well as emotional support Claire House helps families through some of the toughest times of their lives.

    Ivory Cost – Diabetes, Hypertension & Breast cancer screening

    SL Investment Management (“SL”) are delighted to be supporting Audrey Mangly in a humanitarian mission to the Ivory Coast in February 2023. Audrey joined SL in 2017 working with the Trading, Technical & Actuarial Team, and is an extremely valued member of the team.

    In January Audrey shared with her colleagues,

    “I will be traveling next month to the Ivory Coast, west of Africa where I am originally from, for a few weeks. After 12 years, I will rediscover the country of my childhood and of my youth; which I’m very excited about. The main reason for my trip is the charity work we are currently putting together; my team and I are going out there to help the population of my village in the western part of Ivory Coast.

    “This is part of my role as a volunteer for a non-for-profit organisation called “Association d’Aide Humanitaire EducSanté Diabète” registered in Belgium. The organisation aims to provide access to primary health care, social and other assistance to people living in remote areas with limited access to health care.”

    The mission will provide free breast cancer, diabetes and hypertension screening for the population of Mahapleu, a town in the western part of the Ivory Coast.

    The specialist team of doctors and nurses will provide emergency care where necessary, providing therapeutic education for diabetics and hypertensives, and organising referrals to the main hospital for those who are identified as potentially having breast cancer.

    The team also intend to donate medical equipment and medications to the local health centre of Mahapleu, with the purpose of helping to improve sanitary conditions.

    UK to Spain Cycle July 2022 – UNICEF

    SL Investment Management (“SL”) are delighted to be supporting Alec Taylor in his UK to Spain cycle to raise monies for UNICEF’s work with the child victims of the war in Ukraine. Alec has been with SL for over 25 years, and is now a Director of the company working with the Strategic Executive Group and Board.

    Alec said:

    “I’m cycling from my home near Chester in the UK to Spain in July 2022 primarily in support of UNICEF’s work with the child victims of the war in Ukraine. It’s also a journey I’ve wanted to do in memory of my younger brother, Andy, who sadly passed away 2 years ago.

    “The first stage of the journey takes me from Chester to Portsmouth, broadly following UK cycle route 5 through the Midlands and south. After the ferry to Saint-Malo, it’s across Brittany to join the EuroVelo 1 down the west coast of France – before heading off east to tackle the Pyrennes south of Perpignan.

    “The final stretch is onto Palafrugell, around 70 miles north of Barcelona, where I’ll meet up with the family for a summer break.

    “Thanks to my wife Layla, Maisie & Zoe who have indulged my obsession with doing this trip. And to my colleagues at SL Investment Management who have supported me wholeheartedly in this venture.”

    The total journey is estimated to be 1,200 miles, and Alec plans to complete this in just over 3 weeks.
