Charity Total 2022 - Cheque Handovers

Staff from Digby Brown were proud to make a real difference in their communities last year raising more than £44,000 for local causes.

The great total was raised during 2022 by people from across the firm’s seven offices who engaged in a variety of different fundraising events and initiatives throughout the year.

Notable efforts included Aberdeen-based Kimberley MacLennan who took on the Half Marathon at the Great Scottish Run, and Ayr-based Lee Murray who ran 5k or 25 minutes (whichever came first!) every day in December.

Walkers from Edinburgh tackled the gruelling Seven Hills Challenge while staff from Ayr and Glasgow completed the Glasgow Kiltwalk.

Dundee, Kirkcaldy, and Inverness also pulled out all the stops with the Length of Britain challenge, bike rides, family fun days, bake sales and quiz nights.

Flora Bannerman, Corporate Social Responsibility Manager at Digby Brown, said: “We are delighted with the fantastic amount of money raised last year!

“It really hammers home just how much our people are dedicated to the causes of the local charities they supported.

“Knowing our staff are fundraising for charities in support of local groups makes their efforts, and these partnerships, even more special.”

Fraser Oliver, the firm’s Chief Executive, added: “As a client-centric firm it matters that we make a difference in more ways than legal advice.

“Our People are committed to continuing to make a positive impact in their local community and making sure that the chosen charities are well supported.

“Sincere congratulations to all who took part or arranged things behind the scenes - a very well done to all.”

Digby Brown is already setting up new adventurous challenges for the next 12 months and following today’s announcement the firm can now confirm its seven local charity partners for 2023 are:

  • Aberdeen – Clan Cancer Support

  • Dundee – Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA)
  • Edinburgh – The Yard

We look forward to another successful year of fundraising for local causes!
