The BDO Midlands team has raised more than £10,000 for Acorns Children's Hospice, a charity that provides care and support for children with life-limiting conditions. The fundraising effort was led by the team's Birmingham office, which organized a series of events including a charity golf day, a bake sale, and a sponsored walk.
Fundraising Activities
The team participated in a variety of activities to raise money. The charity golf day was held at a local course and attracted over 100 golfers. Participants paid an entry fee and also contributed through raffles and auctions. The bake sale featured homemade treats donated by staff, and the sponsored walk saw employees covering 10 miles across the city.
Impact of Donations
The funds raised will help Acorns Children's Hospice continue its vital work. The charity operates three hospices in the West Midlands and also provides community care. It relies heavily on donations to support families facing the challenges of caring for a child with a life-limiting condition.
Andrew Ovens, partner at BDO in Birmingham, expressed pride in the team's achievement. He said: "We are delighted to have raised such a significant amount for Acorns. The charity does incredible work, and we are proud to support them."
The fundraising comes as part of BDO's ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility. The firm encourages its employees to engage with local charities and community projects.
