Charity’s Accumulator Challenge raises more than £26,000
ellenor’s exciting Accumulator Challenge, a competitive fundraiser for organisations, saw 29 teams from across Kent compete against one another – and raise, to date, £26,305 for the hospice charity, with Broadditch Farm named as the 2018 winner. The fi gure raised could pay for more than 844 hours of Play Therapy. Each of the 29 companies were given a crisp £50 note, generously donated by Thomson Snell & Passmore, which they then had four months to grow into as much as possible to support families facing terminal illness. The challenge offers the opportunity for businesses to be
as creative as possible by investing a small amount of money in a variety of fundraising and money-making activities to generate funds for ellenor. “Since its inception in 2016, over 72 companies have taken part and collectively raised more than £52,025. We are very grateful to each of the 29 organisations that took part in the Accumulator Challenge, there were some fantastic fundraising activities across the four months,” said Kate Barnes, ellenor Fundraising Manager. 2019’s Accumulator Challenge will be launched on 1st September. • For more information, email Katherine Barnes Fundraising Manager at
