Ashmole & Co raise more than £16,000 for Welsh cancer charity
Staff skydive, run and walk to support Tenovus Cancer Care
STAFF at Ashmole & Co have raised more than £16,000 for Tenovus Cancer Care following a year of ambitious fundraising challenges, including skydives, marathons and charity walks.
The accountancy firm's team pulled together across its Welsh offices to raise a total of £16,109.55 for the cancer support charity. Among the highlights was a tandem skydive over the Gower coastline, completed by ten thrill-seeking staff members.
Partner Jim Cornock took on both the London Marathon and the notoriously gruelling Marathon Eryri last autumn, while Helen James from the Ammanford office organised a fundraising entertainment evening that brought in more than £1,600. Other events included a 12-mile sponsored walk along the Swansea coastal path and regular dress-down Fridays and cake sales in offices across the region.
Sharon George, Partner at the Carmarthen office, said: 'Everyone knows someone affected by cancer. We wanted to support a charity based here in Wales, and Tenovus Cancer Care does incredible work helping families across the country. We're so grateful to our clients and friends who contributed to this effort—it's thanks to them we've raised such a significant amount.'
The funds raised will cover one month's costs to operate one of Tenovus' Mobile Support Units, which deliver vital cancer treatments and services directly to Welsh communities.
Clare Davies, Regional Fundraising Manager for Tenovus, added: 'We're incredibly grateful to Ashmole & Co for their dedication over the past year. The money they've raised will make a real difference to cancer patients and their families, helping us provide treatment, expert advice and emotional support when it's needed most.'
Tenovus Cancer Care supports people affected by cancer across Wales through a wide range of services, including a free support line, community choirs, and its Mobile Support Units. For more information, visit
