Over the 2021 Christmas period the team here at Cherwell continued their fundraising efforts for charities close to their heart.
We would like to say a big thank you to everyone at Cherwell that participated in the fundraising raffle by either buying raffle tickets or donating prizes. Staff members managed to raise £200 during their Christmas 2021 raffle.
Cherwell matched the amount raised by staff and rounded it up to make £500. Cherwell then added £1,000 to this amount in lieu of sending Christmas cards to customers and suppliers.
This brings the total value raised to £1,500, which will be split equally, to £500 for each of the following charities, which were selected by Cherwell staff:
