Harrison Beale & Owen make a hearty donation to Midlands charity

Coventry and Warwickshire’s leading finance specialists have made a hearty donation to support a Midlands charity.

Harrison Beale and Owen (HB&O), which has offices in Coventry and Leamington, has helped to raise £4,058 for The Heart of England Community Foundation – one of the largest grant-making organisations across Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull.

The money was raised during a number of fundraising activities organised by the firm throughout 2013, including a corporate charity golf day as well as a ‘free wills’ initiative.

And to round off the charitable year employees also donated their last hour of pay to help boost the funds raised for the charity, which was nominated as HB&O’s sponsored charity for 2013.

Rob Kendall, director at HB&O, said: “We are delighted to have been able to present a cheque for £4,058 to the Heart of England Community Foundation.

“We held a variety of activities throughout 2013 to help boost our fundraising and everyone did a fantastic job to raise money and show their support for the charity, which supports local causes.

“It is important for us to continue to support charities across the region and we look forward to working with the Heart of England Community Foundation in the future.”

The Heart of England Community Foundation helps to distribute money raised by a variety of organisations to supporting community projects across Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull.

Tina Costello, director of the Heart of England Community Foundation, said: “We are extremely grateful to HB&O for their generous donation, which will help to make a huge difference with the local community.

“Without the generous contributions from companies such as HB&O we would not be able to see what a wonderful effect their donations can have on a whole variety of groups.”

Phil Ewing, trustee of the Heart of England Community Foundation, collected the cheque on behalf of the charity.

“This donation will remain at the heart of the region and help a number of new community-led projects make positive steps towards supporting their local community.”
