Cumbrian accountancy firm donates £5,000 to charities
A Cumbrian accountancy firm has donated £5,000 to a selection of charities following the festive season.
Dodd & Co invites staff each year to nominate charities they feel deserve recognition and support.
Among this year's recipients is Eden Valley Hospice, which provides specialist care for adults in North Cumbria with life-limiting conditions.
Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY for Eden) also received support. The charity works to prevent sudden cardiac deaths in young people through screening, research, and family support.
Leukaemia UK, which funds research to improve diagnosis, treatment, and care for those affected by the disease, was another chosen charity.
Dodd & Co also donated to Penrith and Carlisle Food Banks, which help local families struggling to afford food and essential items.
Other recipients included CFM Cash for Kids, Carlisle Youth Zone, and the Cumbria Community Foundation Winter Warmth Appeal, all of which provide vital support to those facing hardship.
Heidi Marshall, partner at Dodd & Co, said: 'We are delighted to support such incredible charities again this year, which means so much more when they are meaningful to our team here at Dodd & Co.
"Every suggestion represented a truly worthy cause, and it was a difficult decision on who to help this year.
"All of these charities make an incredible difference, supporting local people, families and those further afield during some of the toughest times of their lives.
"Their work is invaluable, and we hope our contributions go some way to support their remarkable efforts.'
