"We are very proud of our students and trainees - it is only thanks to their commitment that the factory outlet has become such a great success," says Kai Milewski, Managing Director at Ledlenser. The first factory sale took place at the Solingen headquarters at the end of September, organized and run by a team of eight trainees and students. "With the donation to the Burgholz Children's and Youth Hospice, we are supporting a good cause in the region and can therefore conclude the project all the more positively," continued Milewski.

Donation to the Burgholz Children's and Youth Hospice

"Once we had decided to donate part of our proceeds, we quickly agreed on a recipient," recalls Naomi Avvenire, dual student at Ledlenser. "One of our partners for the factory outlet, a food truck from the region, collected money for the hospice - we thought that was a really nice idea!" The donation was quickly organized afterwards, as was the handover of the cheque on site.

The Wuppertal children's and youth hospice has ten rooms for families of children with life-limiting illnesses. "In addition to providing care, we focus primarily on relieving families and creating a positive place where people can play, laugh and talk to each other," explains hospice manager Kerstin Wülfing.

Use of donations

According to Wülfing, in addition to providing accommodation and care for relatives, the donations also benefit bereavement counseling and the employment of additional specialist staff. Around 50 percent of the work of the children's and youth hospice in these areas is funded by donations. That's why every contribution counts, from schoolchildren who donate to their class fund to large corporate donations.

"Perhaps our donation can be food for thought before Christmas: Does it have to be a mountain of presents or is supporting a charitable project a good alternative?" concludes Avvenire.
