STAFF at a Worcester accountancy firm have raised more than £12,800 after taking part in a number of fund-raising challenges.
Bishop Fleming, which has an office in College Yard, reached the impressive total by hosting a number of events throughout 2016, including a quiz night which raised £2,000 for The Prince’s Trust and sponsorship of The Princes Trust Golf Day which raised nearly £6,000.
Four members of staff also walked the Worcestershire Way in a day for St Richards Hospice, raising more than £2,500.
A number of staff also undertook their own fundraising challenges for various causes. Shaun Mooney ran the Paris Marathon for St Richard’s Hospice raising £330, Natalie Lloyd ran the Worcester Half marathon for St Richards Hospice raising £410 and Emily Rowe ran the Worcester 10k for the Worcestershire Breast Unit raising £320.
Ian Smith, partner in charge of the Worcester office, said: “We are all very familiar with the wonderful work charities do for people living in our region and we hope that our fund-raising efforts over the past year go some way towards helping these organisations continue the work that they do. The challenge is now on to see if we can better this total next year,” he added.
