Surveyors Dig Deep for Local Charity

Five big hearted colleagues from property consultants Sanderson Weatherall, have launched a three-month charity campaign to boost funds for St Oswald’s Hospice.
Answering the call from the Dickinson Dees Enterprise Charity Challenge, the team from Sanderson Weatherall’s Newcastle office, together with other organisations from across the region, have all been given a cheque each for £100 from Dickinson Dees to convert into as much money as possible between 1 August and 31 October 2009.
To kick-start their charitable campaign, team members John Haley, Andrew Carphin, Sarah Ross, Liz McLoughlin and Anthony Tubbs are hosting an exciting Cannonball Run on Saturday 22 August.
Starting at 9am at Blue Flames Sporting Club in Benton, teams of three or four will set off in fancy dress with only their wits, a digital camera and mobile phone for emergencies. Teams are then blindfolded and are driven to a mystery location where they must complete a series of fun challenges and make their way back to Blue Flames by 6pm for an evening of entertainment.
To-date, thirteen teams have pledged their support for the unique event.
Associate director at Sanderson Weatherall, John Haley, said: “We wanted to get involved with the Challenge because we wanted to support a local charity which touches the lives of so many people in our region.
“A big thank you to everyone that has got involved so far. There are a few remaining team slots left and friends and families are more than welcome to join us to cheer teams back to base.”
The Cannonball event is the first in series of activities to be held over the next twelve weeks. Anyone wishing to support their efforts can visit the team’s Just Giving site: http://www.justgiving.com/SandersonWeatherall-StOswaldsChallenge/  or to enter the event, call Andrew Carphin on 0191 261 2681.
 Andrew Carphin from the firm’s industrial agency department believes that local organisations and individuals can also really benefit from the Challenge. “Regardless of everything that is going on in the economy and markets at the moment, it’s really important for companies to continue to support local charities. Often, these are the activities and occasions that really bring a team together,” he said.
“That said, this challenge also appeals to our healthy competitive side and we of course want to raise the most money possible for St Oswald’s Hospice and have plenty more exciting and fun events planned!”
St Oswald’s Hospice provides expert care for adults and children in the North East. Adopting a holistic approach, it provides spiritual and emotional support, as well as addressing physical symptoms at no charge. As a registered charity with running costs in excess of £7m each year, £5m of this total is funded through voluntary sources.
