British Heart Foundation comes out top with Nicholsons Chartered Accountants

Nicholsons Chartered Accountants is pleased to announce that the British Heart Foundation will be their Charity of the Year for 2021/22.

The firm’s charity of the year is chosen by their staff, who take a vote on the nominated charities. Everyone is invited to nominate a charity of their choice; the nominations received are usually because a member of staff has been involved with a particular charity in one way or another.

Although the firm does not have a charity committee, their social committee do have a say in what events they do and help run them. The two main people involved are Gail Green, a director at the firm and Marketing Manager, Linda Clark. Gail and Linda are both looking forward to working closely with the British Heart Foundation’s local Fundraising Manager, Gary Burr.

Gail Green says “We are delighted that the British Heart Foundation has been chosen and look forward to working with Gary and his team. Not only will we be running a number of fundraising activities during the year, we will also be taking up Gary’s offer to provide CPR training to our staff.”

Gary Burr said: “We are so grateful that staff at Nicholsons Chartered Accountants have chosen the BHF as their charity of the year. Not only will this mean that colleagues are equipped with life-saving CPR skills, but the money they raise will also help fund our life saving research into heart and circulatory diseases.”

“The devastating impact of the Covid-19 pandemic means that the BHF’s investment in new research has fallen by around £50 million this year. Our vital research is entirely fuelled by the generous donations of the public, and that’s why their support has never been more needed.”

The team at Nicholsons is looking forward to starting their fund-raising initiatives as soon as it is safe to do so.

These will include cake baking, dress down days, summer reading book sales to spring cleaning your home, coffee mornings and afternoon teas,a charity badminton tournament and much more.

The firm is hoping to hold its main event, their annual charity ball, which is due to be held on Friday 8th October 2021 at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Lincoln. With an auction, raffle and other fund-raising activities taking place on the night, they are hoping to raise at least £7,000.

Tickets are £50.00 each and will include a drink on arrival, 3 course dinner and dancing until midnight with “The Business”.

Tickets can be reserved by calling Linda on 01522 815100.

In 2019 Nicholsons supported St Barnabas Hospice and raised a total of £9.085.85. They hope to raise a similar amount for the British Heart Foundation, if not more.
