Acorn Analytical Services
Three charities benefi t from donation
A trio of charities are celebrating after being presented with cheques worth a total of £5,500. T e money was raised by staff at Northampton-based asbestos management consultancy, Acorn Analytical Services, who undertook fundraising events during 2025 in aid of Muscular Dystrophy UK, Mesothelioma UK and Cynthia Spencer Hospice. Over the course of 2025, the Acorn team pulled together to
embark on ten charity challenges that included a white-collar boxing event, skydive, London Moonwalk, dragon boat race, colour run, abseil, Pretty Muddy 5K, half marathon, fi ve-a-side charity football tournament, and fi nished with an ambitious 100 miles in 12 hours walking challenge. T e funds were split with £2,000 going to Mesothelioma UK,
£2,000 to Cynthia Spencer Hospice and £1,500 given to Muscular Dystrophy UK. T e team wanted to raise funds for Muscular Dystrophy UK
after sales administrator Sarah Seal’s two sons were diagnosed with Becker Muscular Dystrophy within weeks of each other. T e second charity, Mesothelioma UK, supports people living with mesothelioma - a cancer caused by exposure to asbestos fi bres. Lastly, the team wanted to raise money for its local hospice, Cynthia Spencer Hospice. Jill Lemon, Corporate Relations and Fundraising Manager at
Mesothelioma UK, said: “I was honoured to meet with the team at Acorn and accept this vital contribution in support of those aff ected by mesothelioma. T ank you to everyone who took part and helped raise this fantastic amount. What an achievement!” Nina Gandy, Corporate Partnerships and Fundraiser Lead at
Cynthia Spencer Hospice, said: “Acorn have been big supporters of ours for a number of years now, taking on various fundraising chal- lenges and volunteering in our shop. T is money will help so many people, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who pushed themselves to take part in these fantastic challenges in 2025.”
Connal Kelleher, Community Fundraising Manager at Muscular
Dystrophy UK, said: “As a charity, we support our community by funding ground-breaking research to understand the diff erent conditions better and lead us to new treatments, along with supporting individuals living with a condition to help them live well. T is wouldn’t be possible without the generous support from fundraisers, like Acorn, and their dedicated staff members. T ank you for supporting Muscular Dystrophy UK and helping to make a diff erence.” Daniel Crask, Head of Operations at Acorn Analytical Services,
added: “It’s been another fantastic year at Acorn, raising money for these amazing charities. T e team have dug deep, faced fears and really worked together to complete these challenges.
