07-09-2026

Stannah lifts keep people and goods moving every day. Now they’re getting mobile themselves– supporting charities across the UK.

The Brackley service branch for Stannah Lifts Distribution and Service (LD&S) takes on the company’s incredible 4,000-mile charity cycling challenge, raising £513 for their chosen charity, Katharine House Hospice, which provides specialist hospice care and support for people living with life-limiting illnesses. With Stannah match funding, this brings the total to £1,026.

Together, over 700 colleagues across 11 service branches will collectively cycle one full lap of Britain by clocking up the miles on an indoor exercise bike that will travel between each location – 4,000 miles, the equivalent of 1.28 million lift journeys – keeping Britain moving in more ways than one!

Colleagues at the Brackley branch, located on Buckingham Road, have cycled an impressive 353 miles, taking the total mileage count to 4,364, 9% over the target.

Katharine House Hospice was chosen by Stannah’s employees in recognition of the incredible work it does to support people living with incurable illnesses, helping them to live life to the fullest. From hospice and end of life care to wellbeing and bereavement support, Katharine House Hospice provides compassionate and specialist care to help individuals and families navigate every stage with comfort and dignity.

Mandy Parker, Sales Consultant (Contracts) at Stannah Lift Services, says: “Katharine House Hospice is a charity that Stannah are passionate about. Many of us have had family members or friends who have received support from a hospice, so we understand first-hand the incredible difference they can make to individuals and their loved ones during some of the most difficult times in their lives. We have chosen Katharine House Hospice as the charity for our bike ride because of the vital care, compassion and support they provide to people living with life-limiting illnesses, as well as the support they offer to families and carers. Their work has a lasting impact on the local community, helping people to live with dignity and make the most of every precious moment together.”

Mandy adds: “As a team, we are proud to support such a worthwhile cause. Taking on this bike ride gives us the opportunity to challenge ourselves, come together as colleagues and, most importantly, raise much-needed funds to help Katharine House Hospice continue the fantastic work they do. We hope our efforts will make a meaningful contribution and help raise awareness of this very special charity.”

Sue Blank, Corporate Engagement Officer at Katharine House Hospice, says: “We are delighted that Stannah’s Brackley team have chosen to take on this almighty challenge to raise money for the hospice. Without the support of our local business community, we wouldn’t be able to continue to provide our specialist care for free, so a huge thank you to the team at Stannah Lift Services.“

Brackley Deputy Mayor, Councillor Kate Nash, Consort Justin Nash and Sue Blank visited the branch to show their support. Mandy Parker thanked the Deputy Mayor and Consort for taking the time to visit and expressed her appreciation to the charity team for joining in and for their ongoing commitment.

Deputy Mayor, Councillor Kate Nash, says: “I was delighted to visit Stannah in Brackley and see the final leg of the team’s 4k cycling challenge raising money for Katharine House Hospice. Everyone who took part said how the challenge has helped them come together as a team and was really enjoyable. From being able to do the cycling in breaks during the working day the challenge has helped with mental as well as physical fitness. Congratulations to team Stannah Brackley!“
