In the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic, Captain Sir Tom united the nation and inspired hope when it was needed the most with his brilliant fundraising efforts that raised the outstanding amount of almost £40 million (including gift aid) for NHS Charities Together. The Captain Tom Foundation was consequently set up to ensure Tom’s message of hope became a lasting legacy and to support many causes close to Tom’s heart.
Stannah is so proud to have been able to count Captain Sir Tom as a customer. Having a stairlift meant that Tom was able to remain independent in his home and save his energy for things other than climbing the stairs, like walking 100 laps of his garden! The ethos that the foundation instils and the causes it supports align fully with Stannah’s ethos of ‘keep on being you’ and we are honoured to be considered a friend of the foundation and supporter of their recent fundraising initiative Captain Tom 100.
