Charity boost from local firm
Staff at a Shropshire accountancy firm who raised almost £3,500 with their annual charity efforts have donated the cash to two local causes.
The team at Dyke Yaxley Chartered Accountants, in Old Potts Way, Shrewsbury, choose two charities every year and take part in a whole host of fund-raising events to bring in much-needed cash.
And this year they split their cash fund between the Lingen Davies Cancer Appeal and Severn Hospice.
Dyke Yaxley’s marketing co-ordinator Jackie Young said this year’s campaign had been as varied and well-received as ever.
She added: “We’re always overwhelmed with the incredible support we receive every year, and this year has been just as incredible.
“Everyone has been so keen to join in the activities we’ve arranged, and so generous with their time, we just can’t thank all our supporters enough.”
Mrs Young said this year’s activities had included a Royal Family-themed cake sale, a netball match, Euro 2016 sweepstake, two deli day sales, a cricket dinner, quiz night, and staff also took part in Christmas jumper day.
The Dyke Yaxley team has already chosen their charities for the coming year – Midlands Air Ambulance and Shropshire & Staffordshire Blood Bikes.
