Prospect’s Recent Charity Events

Prospect have always been known for our commitment to local causes and charities and the last few months have been no different! Here is a quick update of what we have been doing:

One of our client managers in Reading, Tori Foley was thrilled to join the Women’s Reading Rugby Club in their evening of fun in the name of Children in Need. After a raffle and games for all the family to enjoy, the team squeezed into our Prospect mini fitting an astonishing 17 rugby players in! Not forgetting our Tori being squashed in at the top! The evening was a great success and we look forward to joining them again next year!

Whilst the rugby team climbed out of our mini, we were preparing for another event. Hanna Forrest and George Hayes, also from our Reading Branch, teamed up to offer free refreshments during the Reading Borough Council Special shopping evening for the elderly and disabled. Whilst the guests enjoyed entertainment including live music and a Charlie Chaplin impersonator, our team endeavoured to keep everyone warm with fresh tea and coffee. The evening was a treat for the guests who normally are unable to visit the town, enabling them to stock up with gifts ready for Christmas!

In the run-up to Christmas, we were delighted to be asked to support the annual Santa job at Prospect Park, raising funds for the British Heart Foundation. Our Area Director, Peter Licourinos, and Hanna Forrest braved the cold with 600 runners to offer support to all involved, including Hanna starting the race. With refreshments and hot food on site the day was a great success, raising a great amount for the British Heart Foundation. We will be joining them again next year and invite everyone to join us for a great day out, all in the name of a fantastic cause.

These are just a few examples of the support that we've offered the community over the past few months. Take a look at the stories below to keep up-to-date with our latest events and fundraisers:
