Colleagues at Blandy & Blandy recently presented a cheque for £25,000 to two local NHS charities.
Chairman and partner Nick Burrows handed over the cheque to the firm’s adopted charities for the past three years, Babies in Buscot Support and the Royal Berks Charity, both of which are based at the Royal Berkshire Hospital.
He commented: “It has been our pleasure to work with these two fantastic local charities, supporting the NHS in our area throughout what has been a very challenging time for everyone.
From colleagues participating in the Reading Half Marathon to spending time volunteering in the Hospital’s new health and wellbeing garden for staff, it has been an immensely enjoyable and rewarding partnership.”
BIBS’ chief executive Sarah Critchley said: “Over the last three years, BIBS has thoroughly enjoyed working alongside Blandy & Blandy and is incredibly thankful for the firm’s support. The funds donated to BIBS over this time has made a huge impact on our small charity – supporting the local neonatal unit, Buscot Ward, who care for premature and poorly newborn babies at the Royal Berkshire Hospital. They have helped us fund equipment, improve facilities, and provide emotional support to Buscot families.
Blandy & Blandy also played an integral part of ‘Team BIBS’, our Reading Half Marathon running team in 2023, helping us have a very successful event. We want to say thank you to everyone at Blandy & Blandy for their continued support and engagement during our charity partnership and helping us to save tiny lives.”
Jo Warrior, director at the Royal Berks Charity, added: “Thank you so much to everyone at Blandy & Blandy, we have thoroughly enjoyed working with everyone at the firm. Blandy & Blandy’s support has made a real difference to the patients of the Royal Berkshire Hospital, helping to improve the experience and care they receive. We wish everyone all the very best with the firm’s two new local charities, both very worthy causes.”
From 1 July Blandy & Blandy will adopt Berkshire Women’s Aid and The Cowshed as its new charities for a two-year period.
