APEX SELF STORAGE LADIES TEAM ENTER RACE FOR LIFE
A team of ladies from Apex Self Storage entered the Race For Life event in Heaton Park in Manchester in July 2016. The eleven man (or should I say Lady team) consisted of Julie Bhamjee and Lisa Dawber from Apex Ardwick, Marie Cheatle and Terri Young (both from Apex Cheadle), Catherine Beswick (Apex Glossop), Joanne Summerfield (Apex Sport City), Kirsty Rigby and Carol Bosley (both from Apex Congleton), Becky Oliver and Michelle Croxall (both from Apex Hulme) and Carrol Ashton from Apex Head Office, even four week old Isabella took part. Race for life is organised by a women’s cancer charity and takes place in venues across the UK. Each girl is sponsored individually which raises a good deal of money for the cancer awareness charity.
CHARITY BOX CHALLENGE
Staff from Apex Radcliffe and Apex Hulme took on a charity box challenge to raise money for local charities. Donna Farr (Radcliffe) challenged Michelle Quinn (Hulme) to go out into the local neighbourhood dressed in a wardrobe box to see who could collect the most signatures and selfies. Apex Self Storage donated money to two local charities, The Frost Foundation and the Hideaway Youth Project for each signature and each selfie obtained.
A fun day was had by both girls and the two charities benefitted from the proceeds. Michelle managed to get the most signatures, with over 1000 people signing.

APEX SELF STORAGE FEED THE HOMELESS
In January 2017, seven members of staff from Apex Self Storage joined the Booth Centre, which is a charity for the homeless in Manchester. The seven all helped to prepare food, cook, serve and clean down afterwards. The eight members who took part were – Becky Oliver (Hulme), Steve Jones (Ardwick), Michelle Quinn(Ardwick), Marie Cheatle (Cheadle), Gail Hoolighan (Radcliffe), Carol Bosley (Congleton), Gary Cheetham (Warrington). Each one spoke of being humbled to be part of such an event and have all stated that they would like to do it again.
CHRISTMAS JUMPER DAY
Christmas 2016 saw all of the staff in Apex including the General Manager participating in the annual Christmas Jumper Day and collecting funds for the Save The Children charity. This is the third time we have taken part in this worthwhile cause and even had a fancy dress day a couple of years ago to collect for the same charity.
