Nottingham property law firm, Landsmiths, recently hosted an 80s Fest fundraising night at The Industry, raising £6,000 for local charity The Core Centre.
The event, which took place on Thursday 20th November, brought together the Nottingham business community for an evening of celebration, networking and fundraising – with an 80s twist. Guests enjoyed retro tunes, themed entertainment, and plenty of opportunities to connect and support a great cause.
To boost fundraising efforts there was also a charity raffle, with prizes donated by a number of local businesses and event sponsors.
The Core Centre is a small charity, based in Calverton, Nottingham. Their 3 staff, 30 volunteers, trustees and partner network provide a Community Hub supporting well-being, health, providing advice and community engagement.
Core offers over 30 activities and services which provide optimism and support, evolving to meet the needs of the community post-Covid and during the ongoing cost of living crisis. More recently they have had to increasingly focus on reducing the severe impact of the cost of living crisis and are currently preparing for another difficult winter ahead.
Sam Round, project manager at The Core Centre, said: “We can’t quite believe how much was raised, we are truly blown away. We had an amazing night and want to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts. The money raised will make a real difference to the people and families we support.”
Rachael Briggs, director at Landsmiths, added: “Supporting local charities like The Core Centre is at the heart of what we do, and we’re thrilled with the outcome of this year’s 80s Fest. The Core Centre’s work in the community is vital, especially during the current cost of living crisis, and we’re proud to play a small part in helping them continue that work.”
Vik Moothia, also a director at Landsmiths, said: “The generosity of the Nottingham business community was overwhelming once again. We’re so grateful to everyone who attended, sponsored the event, donated raffle prizes and supported on the night, as well as to The Industry team for helping us host such a fantastic evening.”
Sponsors of the evening included Logical Demolition, Groundsure, AG Corporate Law, PKF Smith Cooper, Rush Hair Limited, Slater and Brandley, Software into Action, Chord Consult, AW Lymn, Anthony James and Angel Microbrewery.
