Our ‘Big 25’ charity challenge to raise at least £25,000 between 25 charities across the country will see its colleagues work their way between our offices as part of a giant 2,400-mile relay.
Fisher German have also pledged to match-fund any donations up to £25,000 from supporters, meaning a total of £50,000 could be split between the charities.
The challenge begins on Friday, May 9, with our team journeying from its London office in the City along the Grand Union Canal all the way to our central Birmingham office over the course of a week.
Future legs include riding on horseback, sailing, together with great walking, swimming, cycling and running endeavours, before the journey ends back in London on Thursday, October 30.
Some of our key clients will also be invited to take part in the challenge, alongside the grassroots charities delivering vital work in the communities they are located in.
The Big 25 coincides with our major rebrand, positioning us as a pioneering, driven consultancy with trusted experts who share knowledge across the business and provide substantial added value to clients.
Managing Partner, Andrew Bridge, said: “We became Fisher German in September 2000, following the merger of Fisher Hoggarth and John German. Our roots, however, stretch back to pre-1830. The firm has grown considerably, and we now employ more than 800 people and assist clients all over the country.
“That’s why we’ve launched the Big 25 challenge to give back to those charities who do so much in the communities we work in, including Birmingham Children’s Hospital, Acorn Children’s Hospice in Worcester, Simon Community Scotland in Glasgow, Sefton Baby Baskets in Liverpool, Katherine House Hospice in Banbury, Red Kite Family Centre in Thame and the Devon Air Ambulance.
“Our teams have really thrown themselves into this over the last few months in preparation, and we cannot wait to see the first of our colleagues set off from London on a long trip to Birmingham along the canal.
“We not only want to raise vital funds for the fantastic range of charities our staff have chosen but use this as a chance to start a new chapter at Fisher German as we look to grow even further over the next 25 years of the company’s life.
“We would encourage anyone interested to follow the journey on social media, support our staff on their legs, and donate to the charities involved.”
Anyone wishing to donate should visit Fisher German’s GiveWheel page. The money raised will be split equally between the 25 charities.
