The Towergate Risk Solutions Charity team presented our Big Cheque for £3049.17 to Debra Dennett of Forest Holme on 15^th Jan 2008.

We beat last year’s total by making Fund Raising for Forest Holme part of our social calendar for 2007. I have listed below how various members of the team contributed to the fund raising.

1. Ann Popperwell – Arranged various events during the year including the Virgin Vie Parties and donated different types of crafts for sale.
2. Stephanie Smith – Along with Susan Bryant raised over £270 with their craft fare, selling items of handmade jewellery and cards.
3. Jenny Chick – Early in the year arranged a Bingo Night which raised over £600 and had a sponsored bring your dog to work day and various other fund raising bits and pieces.
4. Sue Bailey-Churcher – Friday Fry-up – Cooked breakfast rolls for everyone in the office for a reasonable price, sausages, bacon and eggs in a bap etc all done on the George Foreman (and it was probably the best we’d ever tasted).
5. Julie & Trevor Irons – Christmas goodies – A variety of cakes pies and pastries all home cooked and sold at a cost of 50p each, again absolutely lovely!
6. James McComish – He will be doing the London Marathon this year in aid of Help the Hospice and also arranging a Race Night in August.

As you all know we at Poole do our very best in supporting our local hospice and have various things planned for 2008 and we hope we can do even better this year for such a well deserved cause.
