Drug, alcohol and DNA testing laboratory AlphaBiolabs has made a £500 donation to Juno Women’s Aid in Nottingham as part of its Giving Back campaign

For every testing instruction AlphaBiolabs receives from family law and social work professionals, the company enters the name of the customer into a bimonthly charity draw. A customer is then selected at random to nominate a charity of their choice to receive a £500 donation.

Leah Johnson, a paralegal at Sills & Betteridge Solicitors, was randomly selected in the latest draw and nominated Juno Women’s Aid, the largest domestic abuse organisation in Nottingham, and one of the largest in the UK.

The organisation has been supporting women, children and teens in Nottingham and South Nottinghamshire for over 40 years, providing a wide range of services including a 24-hour freephone domestic and sexual violence helpline.

Leah said: ‘As one of the leading law firms in Nottingham, we work with individuals and families from all walks of life, some of whom have faced extremely challenging circumstances.

‘Our team has worked extensively with Juno Women’s Aid and has seen firsthand the difference they make supporting women in our community who have been directly affected by domestic abuse.’

Paula Clarke, deputy CEO at Juno Women’s Aid, said: ‘We would like to thank Leah at Sills & Betteridge, and AlphaBiolabs for this generous donation. Contributions like these ensure we can continue to help women, children and teens impacted by domestic abuse. This includes offering emergency refuge accommodation and access to specialist support.’

Rachel Davenport, director at AlphaBiolabs, said: ‘Juno Women’s Aid does incredible work providing support to people affected by domestic abuse in Nottingham, and we are proud to be able to support them, so they can continue offering this vital service to the community.’

The next Giving Back charity draw will take place at the end of October.
