£50 charity challenge raises funds for CHSW

Ashfords LLP and CHSW are giving local companies £50 and challenging them to use the investment to raise more money for charity.

Ashfords LLP is proud to be sponsoring the £50 Challenge for Children's Hospice South West (CHSW). The £50 Challenge is an exciting on-going initiative set up by Ashfords which encourages businesses in the South West to compete against one another with the aim of  generating as much money as possible from a start-up investment of £50 within a 10 week period. 

Ashfords has sponsored the event so that rather than you giving money to charity, Children's Hospice South West will give £50 to you! Every penny you raise will go direct to CHSW, to help and support children living with life-limiting conditions and their families across the South West.

To be successful in this challenge, the contending teams will need to use their initiative and creativity to think of new and exciting ways to turn the investment into a profit. Ashfords has already raised in excess of £30,000 for Children's Hospice South West since January and with teams across our offices in Bristol, Exeter, Taunton and Tiverton, Ashfords' staff are ready for the challenge. 

Supporting the initiative is Dragons' Den investor and successful entrepreneur, Deborah Meaden: "It’s the perfect way to put your team’s entrepreneurial skills to the test whilst also raising money for a fantastic local cause. To be successful in this challenge you’ll have to be innovative and have the confidence to re-invest. Engaging with the community is so important for companies to look outward and do some real good - and you will feel great about the business as a result."

Stuart Mathews, Partner in Ashfords' Corporate and Commercial Team, commented: "The £50 Challenge is a real opportunity to develop business skills, encourage teamwork and foster creative thinking. Ashfords is proud to be the sponsor of this initiative in support of Children’s Hospice South West."
