Foxley Kingham, Luton-based chartered accountants and business advisers, has announced its selected charity partners, who will benefit from a year of fund raising to celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary.
Earlier this year, directors and staff at the company established the Foxley Kingham Anniversary Foundation and set themselves the challenging target of raising £50,000 during this landmark year. The money will be shared amongst local charities nominated by staff and clients.
From 32 nominated charities and good causes, 17 have been chosen to receive financial support:
• Autism Bedford
• Dogs Trust
• Families United Network
• Friends of Chums
• Keech Hospice Care
• L&D: Neonatal ICU, Maternity Bereavement and Cancer Unit
• Level Trust
• Luton, South Beds and Harpenden Samaritans
• Luton Town FC Community Trust
• Mind BLMK (local branch)
• Rett UK
• Road Victims Trust
• The Karen Trust
• The Noah Enterprise
• Tokko Youth Space
• Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire Cambridgeshire & Northamptonshire
• Womens Aid in Luton
Tara Aldwin, chair of the Foxley Kingham Anniversary Trust, said:
“It was an incredibly hard decision with so many good causes nominated. As a team we decided to support charities working in the local area, particularly smaller charities where it was felt the funds would go further.”
Foxley Kingham is arranging a year of fundraising activities including a charity football tournament in partnership with Luton Town FC Community Trust on 23rd May, a Gala Dinner on 14th September at Offley Place, gin tastings, race nights and sporting events.
Details of the latest events can be found on www.fkca.co.uk. A further opportunity to nominate charities will be available later this year.
