Praising the firm’s fundraising efforts and said: “I was delighted to be invited by Blandy & Blandy to present the cheques to YPWD and Camp Mohawk and to learn more about how these vital funds will help support their important work within the Berkshire area.
It’s clear that the collaboration between the firm and the chosen charities over the past two years has been of great benefit to all involved and has raised substantial funds to help improve the lives of both children with special needs and people affected by young onset dementia.
Staff and supporters of Blandy & Blandy should be immensely proud of all their hard work and the firm’s continued determination to demonstrate its social impact through vital fundraising activities within Reading and the wider Berkshire area.”
Chairman Brenda Long commented: “Thank you to Rob Wilson and to our two fantastic charities, who have been a pleasure to work with over the past two years. On behalf of everyone in our team I am delighted that we have been able to donate nearly £15,000 to each charity.”
YPWD’s Caroline Blanchette explained: “The difference Blandy & Blandy have made to our charity, not only through monetary donations but also in their support of us through attendance at events, education courses and fundraising initiatives, has been enormous. Thank you all once again – we feel the richer for the association.”
Camp Mohawk’s Chris Wilxox added: “Blandy & Blandy’s support over the last two year has enabled us as a charity to fund capital projects such as our new music room, pay for running costs for our youth group work for children with high-functioning autism, and new activities for the children and families to enjoy when they visit our day centre.”
Blandy & Blandy’s staff recently voted to support Daisy’s Dream and Reading Samaritans from 1 July 2016.
