Story
Over the course of this 25th year in business we're raising funds in aid of the brilliant and essential work three charities do across the country with a series of fundraisers, events and more! Take a moment to read about some of the tireless work that so many people at these charities do daily to improve lives.

April - Easter Raffle 🐣
To celebrate Easter our team organised a bumper prize buffet with prizes from some of the brilliant businesses close to our HQ on Thistle Street Aberdeen. A cut and colour from Bloom Aberdeen, vouchers for Parx Cafe, Almondine, The Craighaar Hotel Restaurant & the dolphin chipper as well as two tickets for Little Women at HMT. 5 lucky winners each scooped up a prize and in the process raised a fantastic £235 for our three charities.
March - Masters Sweepstake ⛳
This one was hugely popular in the office with additional spaces opened up to meet the high demand for the andersonbain green jacket! With Rory Mcilroy clinching the title in dramatic fashion and winning one lucky member of staff the sweepstake. This Augusta themed bit of fun raised £475 in the process to further support AberNecessities, Friends of Anchor & Sarcoma UK!
