Henry Schein Dental Centurion Close Gillingham Business Park Gillingham ME8 0SB England

Henrys Angels continue to support local charities

Gillingham/Cardiff, 13 September 2016 A group of Team Schein Members from Cardiff known
as Henry Angels, an employee volunteer group, continues their support of local charities
throughout the months of September and October 2016.
On Saturday, 10 September 2016, a group of volunteers worked as marshals at the Cardiff Pretty
Muddy 5k Run in Bute Park located in the heart of the City of Cardiff. The obstacle course is part
of Cancer Research UKs Races for Life, a series of women-only events raising money for
research in support of all 200 types of cancer.
In addition, volunteers from Henrys Angels will support the Cardiff University/Cardiff Half Marathon
on 02 October 2016. The Half Marathon in Cardiff is a charity event, supporting Barnardos, one of
the UKs leading childrens charities and the events official charity partner. Last year, Barnardos
transformed the lives of over 240,000 vulnerable children and families in more than 1,000 vital
projects across Wales, Scotland, England and Northern Ireland, dealing with problems from
homelessness and disability to bereavement, abuse and poverty. Nevertheless, runners can chose
other charities to support through the Cardiff University/Cardiff Half Marathon. In 2015, over 1,000
charities and good causes were represented in the Cardiff Half Marathon and a 2.5 million
raised. Many of those have official charity places for the Cardiff University/Cardiff Half Marathon.
The Whitechapel Centre is hosting the 3rd sponsored Liverpool Sleepout on Friday, 14 October
2016, to increase awareness of homelessness and raise much needed funds for its work with
people who are homeless in Liverpool. The charity aims to prevent and resolve homelessness,
social exclusion and housing poverty by providing practical, realistic, tailored support so that
each person can find a route out of homelessness, maintain a home and achieve their
individual potential. Whitechapel Centre works hard to make sure no one needs to sleep rough
in Liverpool but there are still people who need their help. Henrys Angels Cardiff created a
team of volunteers to join the Sleepout. Henry Schein will also donate toothbrushes and
toothpaste for the Whitechapel Centre Liverpool Sleepout as well as distribution to Liverpools
homeless individuals.
Jo Templeman, Senior Office Administrator at Henry Schein in Cardiff and the local contact for
Henrys Angels said: I am very proud to be part of a team that proactively seeks opportunities to
support those in need and work for a company that cares for the community."
Henrys Angels was formed in January 2011 to put together a long-lasting program of volunteers in
Henry Schein UKs head-quarters in Gillingham, Kent, wishing to give back to the local community.
The Angels believe that time is the most valuable commodity they can give and together they can
make a big difference. So far more than 35 projects have been organized that have included more
than 400 volunteers working over 4,200 hours. In addition to the Cardiff branch of Henrys Angels,
local Henrys Angels are active at Henry Schein locations in Gillingham, Ilkley and Dublin. The
Angels support several projects each year and have already received tremendous support from
local companies, hotels and services.
