Russell Roof Tiles has announced it has already smashed its £40,000 charity fundraising target set for this year.
Staff, suppliers, customers and partners of the concrete roof tile manufacturer have embarked on various fundraising activities to support its Give4Good charity initiative, which supports several good causes.
Recent events include the firm’s Annual Golf Day held at Horsley Lodge Golf Club, in Derbyshire, which raised £7,200 and its charity skydive, which was reported in Daily Focus and raised £10,500.
These follow an equally successful summer family fun day at its Burton upon Trent headquarters which raised £5,200.
The company’s overall fundraising total so far now stands at £42,000.
Andrew Hayward, Managing Director at Russell Roof Tiles said: “We’re delighted to have already smashed our target for 2023, given it is a particularly challenging economic climate.
“Our customers, suppliers, partners and staff have been so supportive and gone above and beyond to help us fundraise for these amazing local organisations, many of which survive only by donations.
“Our core value of supporting our local community, causes and charities is as important to our team and neighbours as it is to us, and we want to thank everyone who has contributed so far.”
Since 2015, the company has supported over 38 different charities and causes local to its Burton and Lochmaben, in Scotland, sites.
Ten charities and good causes are being supported this year and were nominated by staff. They include The Young Ones Burton, which supports children in need or crisis, and Burton Soup Kitchen, which supports homeless and vulnerable people within the local community.
The company’s final big fundraising event is the Big Charity Quiz Night on Thursday 23 November, held in the Pirelli Suite at Burton Albion Football Club.
