The staff raised money in a number of ways including bake sales, dress down days - themes included – Spring, the Olympics, Christmas jumpers.

They also launched a Larking Gowen calendar, which involved staff taking beautiful scenic shots across East Anglia and the best were then chosen to go into the calendar, which was then sold to staff and clients. They also held a firm wide quiz and a book sale.

In addition to raising money for CLIC Sargent and Alzheimer’s Society, Larking Gowen also continued to support Children in Need, Comic Relief, Jeans for Genes, St Martins Housing Trust and also Wear it Wild (with a lot of animal onesies were brought out for that one).

Jon Woolston, Managing Partner said “we are delighted with the amount of money raised through our staff’s activities. We are immensely proud to support local causes and the effort our staff have put in to these initiatives.

The charities were chosen by our staff as causes close to their hearts and many of them know someone or have been touched personally by the causes these two charities support”.
