Ariston’s support for the nationwide ‘Gas Chat’ tour throughout 2017 successfully helped raise over £50,000 for children’s cancer charity Candlelighters.
Ariston was the main sponsor of the tour, which visited 12 properties spanning from Land’s End to John o’ Groats throughout the year. The initial aim was to raise an additional £25,000 for the charity – yet over double this amount was eventually achieved.
At each stop of the tour, which called at locations including Bristol, Colchester, Leeds, Lancaster and Inverness, a property received a free Ariston boiler installation (including Ariston NET) in return for a donation to the Candlelighters charity.
By the end, Ariston donated 12 new E-Combi evo boilers, complete with eight-year warranties and Ariston NET controls.
Allan Carrick, national technical sales and quality manager for Ariston, said: “Seeing so many installers come together from all over the UK to join forces for such a worthy cause was absolutely brilliant. All the engineers that took part were incredibly generous and professional, delivering a series of high quality boiler installations to be proud of.”
Candlelighters raise over £1million every year to fund a number of services that offer practical and emotional support to children with cancer, throughout Yorkshire, and their families.
