A huge thank you to everyone across Leys Group who contributed to this year’s fundraising, helping to raise an incredible £26,808.14 for three charities.
As part of Bancon Group’s 50th anniversary, we set out to support three organisations linked to the communities we work in, with one charity chosen for each area.
Funds were shared between Camphill School, Stonehaven Men’s Shed and Strathcarron Hospice. Camphill School received £13,400.72, with Stonehaven Men’s Shed and Strathcarron Hospice each receiving £6,703.70.
Colleagues from across the group got behind a wide range of fundraising activities throughout the year, including a Lairig Ghru trek, quiz night, Christmas Jumper Day, themed bake sales and 10K challenges.
Colum Pooler, CEO of Camphill School Aberdeen, said: “We are hugely grateful to the Leys Group and their staff for this fantastic donation. Their commitment and creative approach to fundraising over the past year has been incredible, and this support will make a meaningful difference to the lives of the children and young people we support.”
Andrew Tweedie, Bancon Group CEO, said: “Marking our 50th anniversary in this way has been incredibly meaningful for everyone at Bancon Group. It’s been inspiring to see colleagues come together across the businesses to support such important local charities, and we’re delighted that our efforts will make a positive difference.”
David Smart, Chief Executive of Leys Estate Group, added: “Everyone has thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the various fundraising activities over the past 12 months. We are proud to have raised such a fantastic amount for three very worthwhile causes and look forward to seeing how the donations will support their ongoing work.”
