University staff clean up to boost Chloe Angel’s appeal
Around 100 members of the University of Central Lancashire’s cleaning staff were sponsored by family, friends and colleagues to take part in a treasure hunt and a crown green bowling competition. They managed to raise a fantastic £1,020 and donated it to the Chloe Angel Fundraising Appeal.
Chloe is a nine-year-old girl from Preston who suffers from quadriplegic cerebral palsy, has epilepsy and type one diabetes, and needs to be fed by a tube. She made the trip to the Preston Campus with her mum, Hannah Gallagher, and her nana, Johanna Gallagher, to receive the donation from a selection of the staff who were involved.

Hide AdJohanna said: “We’re truly humbled by all your efforts to raise such a fantastic amount of money. We’re so thankful for your help and we are planning to use the money you have raised to buy Chloe a multi-sensory station. This will make such a big difference.”
Jacqui Fletcher, a cleaner at UCLan for 30 years, suggested Chloe Angel’s charity after suffering her own personal heartbreak. She said: “I had a son who had cerebral palsy and he died aged 19 so I know what the family are going through. It’s brilliant that we’ve raised so much money and it’s lovely the family can buy something that Chloe really needs.”
