For every testing instruction received from family law and social work professionals, AlphaBiolabs enters the customer’s name into its bimonthly Giving Back draw to ‘win’ a £500 donation for their chosen charity.
Sophie Charlton, a Graduate Trainee at Vardags in London, was randomly selected in the latest draw and nominated Reunite International to receive the donation.
Reunite International offers advice, information and support to parents, family members and guardians who have had a child abducted, to those who may have abducted their child, and to those who fear abduction.
The charity also provides a mediation service in cases of cross-border family disputes involving children, works closely with government departments – including the Ministry of Justice and the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office here in the UK – and has working relationships with lawyers, academics, police services, and other statutory and voluntary organisations across the world.
Sophie said: 'In the Children Team at Vardags, we regularly support families affected by international parental child abduction and Reunite International’s expertise is an essential resource in these cases. This donation recognises the vital role Reunite International plays in safeguarding children’s welfare, and the crucial support they provide to families experiencing an incredibly distressing and uncertain time.'
Alison Shalaby, Chief Executive Officer at Reunite International, said: 'We really appreciate Sophie’s nomination and AlphaBiolabs’ donation. Donations like this help us continue to support children, parents and families in the UK and worldwide, who are trying to navigate their way through the legal minefield of international parental child abduction.'
Rachel Davenport, Director at AlphaBiolabs, said: 'The crucial work that Reunite International undertakes helps so many families in extremely stressful circumstances to achieve a positive outcome. We are proud to donate to such an important cause.'
The next Giving Back winner will be announced in May.
