Professionals from the Worcester office of a leading property consultancy have helped raise more than £25,000 for charity as part of an epic fundraising relay – with 11 weeks of the challenge still to go.
Fisher German is marking its 25th anniversary with its ‘Big25’ charity challenge which is seeing colleagues tour its 25 offices across the country in a 2,400-mile journey – without any form of motorised transport.
The firm created the Big 25 challenge to raise at least £25,000 which will be split equally between the 25 charities, and colleagues have already smashed the target raising a total of £25,642 so far.
Fisher German has also pledged to match-fund any donations up to £25,000 from supporters, meaning at least £50,000 will now be divided between the good causes.
As part of the challenge, the firm’s Worcester office has chosen to raise money for Acorn’s Children’s Hospice, which supports hundreds of babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions access specialist care.
The office’s leg of the challenge is set to begin in the coming weeks.
So far, the Big 25 challenge has seen colleagues walking, running, cycling, horseback riding, sailing, paddleboarding, skiing and even roller skating their way between offices.
