Accountancy firm raises funds for YMCA Burton

Local accountancy firm Alexander Accountancy presented a cheque of £2,400 to YMCA Burton after hosting a fundraiser night.

The firm hosted a quiz night at Pirelli Stadium last November with local businesses competing against each other. The night also had a raffle and an auction. The winning team was headed up by Kathryn Capple of Else Solicitors.

David Alexander and Richard Faulkner from Alexander Accountancy met with Kathryn to present the winners shield and to also present a cheque to YMCA Burton for £2,400.

Fundraising and partnerships manager, Paula Senior at YMCA Burton said: “We had such a fun evening at the quiz and were relieved to not come last!

The amount raised is phenomenal and we are so happy that this will go towards helping the local community, especially at such a hard time of year. Thank you David and his team at Alexanders! ”

David Alexander said: "Alexander Accountancy are strong believers in corporate social responsibility and are proud to support charities that help the local community. In particular we want to express our thanks to YMCA Burton for helping the more vulnerable members of our society at a time they are most in need."

YMCA Burton have experienced their busiest year of handing out emergency parcels since their foodbank began 22 years ago. The foodbank helps everyone within the local community and is located at the Asda roundabout in Burton town centre.
