Champion idea to help firm’s fundraising goal

NATIONAL property consultants, Bruton Knowles, has launched a charity partnership with Cancer Research UK, with a target of £30,000 to raise over the next two years.

To raise as much money as possible, Bruton Knowles has internally recruited a charity champion.

Based in the Gloucester office at Olympus Park, operations director Samantha Pennington will be responsible for spearheading the fundraising initiatives within her team, organising events ranging from creative bake offs to sponsored sleep outs and charity auctions.

James Bailey, managing partner at Bruton Knowles, said: “As a company, charity work is incredibly important to us, as it is integral to our business values and allows us to be involved in our local communities.

“This year, we decided to focus on one charity in particular.

“With Cancer Research UK carrying out pioneering research and making life-saving progress, we knew it was the right charity to choose for the two-year partnership.

“The charity champion has been provided with a great opportunity to work with their office to develop a programme of fundraising event.

“Creating a charity activity calendar will capture all of our activities and will include supporting the national Cancer Research UK events such as Race for Life, which our employees will want to participate in.”
