CHSA donates £10,000 to Grief Encounter
The Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers Association (CHSA) is donating £10,000 to its nominated charity, Grief Encounter.
The donation follows the CHSA’s Annual Charity Gala Ball, held in April this year. Since 2019, the CHSA has raised £33,000 for Grief Encounter as its nominated charity.
Grief Encounter supports grieving children, young people and their families to find hope, healing and build resilience following the death of someone close.
Andy Watts, Head of Fundraising (Philanthropy) at Grief Encounter, said: “Our aim is to walk by the side of every bereaved child or young person during their darkest moments. We make sure their grief is not the end of their story.
“Grief Encounter relies on fundraising for almost all of our income. Support from partners like the CHSA is vital to help us support grieving children and young people during the darkest, most challenging days of their young lives.
“The donation from CHSA will support Grief Encounter in its mission to give every child and young person access to the best possible support following the death of someone close. Our highly skilled team offer different types of support designed to meet the wide-ranging needs of grieving children and families. This might include one to one therapy, group workshops, residential camps and tailored information and resources.”
One child in every UK classroom will experience the death of someone close by the time they reach 16 years old.

Studies have shown bereaved children can face long-term social and emotional difficulties if they don’t receive the right support at the right time, following the death of someone close.
Lorcan Mekitarian, Chair of the CHSA, said: “We are incredibly proud of our association with Grief Encounter. The charity makes a huge difference to young people struggling with the impact of the loss of someone close. Giving something back to our community is in the DNA of the CHSA and we are very grateful to our members for their continued support of and contribution to our fund-raised activities.”

This move underlines our commitment to evolve and move with the times as a business by investing in the people who work for us.”
Northwood began its apprenticeship programme in 2015, and since then it has helped to develop the skills, knowledge and experience of 27 apprentices. Every apprentice is guaranteed a job with the business on completion of their apprenticeship. This year’s intake of 16 apprentices follows recent business wins and supports the firm’s ambitious future growth targets.
Northwood now employs more than 1000 people across nine UK sites.
