The Do As Raj Would Do campaign raises over £20,000 for charity Print
27th April 2021
The Do As Raj Would Do campaign, in memory of Spar retailer Raj Aggarwal, has so far raised more than £24,000 for two local NHS charities.
The initiative, which ran from 19-26 April, urged retailers to donate goods, supplies or products to charities, organisations or individuals most in need in their local communities.
Aggarwal, who owned Spar stores in Wigston, Leicestershire and Hackenthorpe, near Sheffield, passed away from Covid-19 in April 2020 at the age of 51.
His family has set the goal of raising £100,000 for Leicester Hospitals Charity and Sheffield Hospitals Charity.

Alana Habergham-Rice, 13, who has autism, has been creating her caring cakes to cheer people up for seven years.
Her new cookbook – Cakes to make you smile, from the heart of Sheffield – continues her fundraising for a good cause.
She chose the hospitals charity, which she has supported for several years, in gratitude for the medical care shown to her close friend, Nick Challenger, in his recent battle with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
Nick was treated at the Royal Hallamashire Hospital and eventually given the all-clear. But that is not where the story ends….he and his family and friends decided that they wanted to pay back the treatment and Alana wanted to do her bit.

UK - In a bid to lift the spirits of the local community and celebrate the efforts of the NHS, a team of entertainment industry lighting and laser engineers based around the north of England have set out to create laser lighting art. Sheffield-based lighting designer Jonathan Dawson-Butterworth wanted to set up a morale-boosting event that could also help the Sheffield Hospitals Charity appeal. “I thought it would be nice to organise something that people could look at and enjoy, and also do something to help charity. With the terrible situation brought upon us all by the pandemic, I thought it would be great to involve the hospitals charity and say ‘thank you’ to the NHS,” he explains.
