PPS were proud to donate to the recent Cycle to Lapland Challenge taken on by the Calderdale Neonatal Unit 🚲🎅
This campaign by the Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Charity aimed to raise funds to refurbish the parent rooms on the unit, rooms that had been used by a family from the PPS team during the last year.
Chris Marshall, from the PPS Compressor Spares team, welcomed his daughter a little earlier than expected on the 1st of October 2025. “Marnie was due on the 11th of November, but she surprised us all by arriving six weeks early. She spent 19 days on the unit with my partner Chelsea and the care they received was amazing. We are so grateful for everything the team did for our family. She is now four months old, doing really well and keeping us both on our toes!”
Every year PPS donates money to a local charity or community project at Christmas instead of sending corporate gifts. The team nominate and vote for who they think should receive the donation, the Calderdale Neonatal Unit was a clear winner this year.
Emma Kovaleski, Head of CHFT NHS Charity, said: “We have been completely blown away by the support shown through the Cycle to Lapland Challenge, which helped us to surpass our fundraising target. Every pound raised will make a real difference, allowing us to refurbish the three parent rooms on the Neonatal Unit and make them more comfortable for families when they need it most. We’re incredibly thankful to PPS for their generosity and for helping us support parents and babies during such an important time.”
