With D&G generously matching donations, and when combining gifts and volunteer time, that figure comes to an outstanding £101,605.

David Colley, chair of the charity committee, said: “Thank you to everyone who has helped to raise this fantastic sum. Let’s make the new financial year even more successful for our new and existing charity partners, and show why we’re a generous bunch here at D&G! We’re delighted to once again support PASIC in Nottingham and Rockinghorse in Brighton this year, with Worldwide Cancer Research remaining our chosen Group charity. Bedworth colleagues have chosen to support Mary Ann Evans Hospice as their new charity for the coming year.”
