Hampshire firm HWB Chartered Accountants has raised more than £8,500 for charity Mountbatten Hampshire.
Workers at the Chandler’s Ford-based firm took part in skydives, marathons and tough mudder events as well as bake-offs and office parties in order to raise the sum.
HWB managing director Tracy Jenkins said: “Mountbatten Hampshire is dedicated to providing care and support for people with life-limiting illnesses. We were delighted to be able to offer our support to such a worthwhile and crucial charity.
“The county’s oldest and largest hospice, it has served the community for more than 45 years and is currently supporting around 1000 families every day.”
Accountant Matt Cooper, one of HWB’s associate directors, overcame his fear of heights to undertake a skydive to raise £2,415 for the charity by taking the plunge from 15,000 feet over Old Sarum in Wiltshire.
Caitlyn Sherry, Mountbatten Hampshire’s corporate partnership manager, said: “Mountbatten Hampshire is deeply grateful for the unwavering support of HWB Accountants. Over the years, the firm has gone above and beyond with skydives, marathons, and even bake-offs and tea parties in the office, raising an incredible £8,592.20.
“Support from organisations like HWB ensures Mountbatten can deliver 24/7 expert care and support to people experiencing death, dying and bereavement. This gives patients and their families choices about the care they receive, providing the highest quality nursing, medical, and therapeutic care within our West End hospice and in people’s homes.”
