Consulting firm raises over £20,000 for British Heart Foundation in record fundraising event
Housman Consulting, a longstanding member of the Asian Business Chamber of Commerce (ABCC), held its second annual charity golf day which has raised £21,379 for British Heart Foundation.
The funds generated during the event was a new fundraising record for a single charity golf day in the West Midlands, beating the previous record of £12,400.
It was held on 3 September at Sandwell Park Golf Club to support vital research and raise funds into cardiovascular disease for the British Heart Foundation.
The golf day was supported was supported by many ABCC members through donations, sponsorships and by taking part.
Sartaj Gill director at Housman Consulting Ltd, said: “In setting up the charity golf day, the team at Housman asked themselves a simple question, what do we know about golf? The short answer is not a lot, we are tax advisors, accountants and digital marketing specialists.
“However, we do know businesses, we do know people through our business networks. The idea was simple: let’s have some fun, let’s play golf, let’s raise funds and get our business community together for a cause that genuinely matters.
“The golf day means a lot to me. I had emergency heart surgery three years ago and will be forever grateful to the doctors, nurses and support teams at the NHS and the British Heart Foundation. The treatment saved my life. I am now the proud owner of a mini defibrillator which sits inside of me wherever I go!
“The team at Housman are grateful to our headline sponsors, Cool Motion Ltd, and all businesses, charity organisations and individuals and ‘behind the scenes’ volunteers who made it happen.
“If any business organisations want to get involved, sponsor, donate or just play golf, the team at Housman would love to hear from you. Together, we can raise awareness, support vital research and help save lives.”
The official sign off was witnessed by Henry Wilkinson, relationship manager for Housman at the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce, recognising the collective contribution of the local Asian business community.
Henry Wilkinson said: “It was brilliant to see first-hand what Sartaj and the team at Housman Consulting have achieved.
“Raising more than £21,000 is a fantastic result and a great example of what can happen when the business community comes together for such an important cause”
