Businesses and charities collaborate to support causes and boost morale during challenging times.
- Charity leaders praise the regional businesses for their sustained support and morale-building initiatives.
- Fundraising events by companies like Rollits LLP are becoming increasingly vital for charities’ financial and awareness objectives.
- The charity golf day organised by Rollits raised over £3,500, benefiting Muscular Dystrophy UK and Dove House Hospice.
- Corporate participation in charity events is crucial for community support and charity service maintenance.
In recent times, regional businesses have taken significant steps to aid charities, providing vital support and boosting morale amidst economic challenges. According to leading charity figures, these efforts are instrumental in spreading awareness and generating much-needed funds.
Susanne Driffield from Muscular Dystrophy UK and Jethro Shearring from Dove House Hospice indicate that corporate-engaged fundraising activities, such as those by Rollits LLP at their annual charity golf day, are not only lifelines for financial support but also pivotal in raising charity profiles.
The charity golf day, held at Brough Golf Club and organised by Rollits for over thirty years, managed to raise an impressive sum exceeding £3,500 from entry fees and sponsorship this year. These funds and the resulting publicity play a critical role for charities like Muscular Dystrophy UK, which rely heavily on community initiatives to promote their causes.
Rollits LLP has successfully integrated this event into its annual activities, significantly aiding Muscular Dystrophy UK and Dove House Hospice. As noted by Susanne Driffield, the presence of charity banners at such events is invaluable, helping lesser-known charities gain visibility that could otherwise cost substantial amounts in advertising.
Jethro Shearring, emphasizing the crucial nature of these partnerships, mentioned that ongoing community support safeguards essential services and facilitates growth. With government funding covering only a small fraction of their needs, the charities depend heavily on these community-driven efforts to sustain their operations.
Corporate involvement at events like the Rollits’ golf day—featuring participants from diverse sectors including nationwide operators and tech businesses—not only adds financial support but also fosters a sense of community engagement and collective responsibility.
Participants such as the Rix Group, MKM, and other local enterprises reaffirm the importance of these events in reinforcing community ties and supporting vital services. Such collaboration assures the continuity and development of charitable services crucially needed in local communities.
Richard Field of Rollits highlights the longstanding community commitment, having raised over £150,000 through their golf days since inception. This unwavering support plays a pivotal role in sustaining charities that provide indispensable services.
Collaborative efforts between businesses and charities are crucial in sustaining vital charitable services amid financial challenges.
