Close Brothers Motor Finance employees have raised £30,823 for the NSPCC and Cancer Research UK. Employees from across all Close Brothers Motor Finance’s offices took part in a range of fundraising initiatives, including the challenging Snowdon climb, a 200-mile bike ride, 20-mile relay, 10km Pretty Muddy race, auctions and bake sales.
The company’s network of dealer partners got involved in the fun charity initiatives, with the regional branches leading the charge on many events. The Bury and Peterborough branches rose to the challenge with the Snowdon climb, which raised £3000, while the Sheffield, Southampton and Stoke branches continued the active theme with their own sponsored challenges, including a 10-mile team walk, a 20-mile relay and a 200-mile bike ride. The Doncaster head office team completed a 10km Pretty Muddy race and finished the week with an inter-team rounders match.
Employees were also keen to help their local communities – the Scottish branch raised money through building a barn on a local farm, while the Welsh branch were sponsored to complete a beach clean-up along the Welsh Peninsula. Other activities across the country involved a bake sale, quiz nights, and a children’s design competition.
