Agents Do Charity - the good news goes on

It just doesn't stop. Each Friday we give a brief round-up of agents' charity work, and summer sunshine has only encouraged more of you, it seems.

We at EAT and LAT hugely admire the often-unsung work by agents who donate energy, time and money to charity. We want to shine a spotlight on this side of agency.

If you want to be mentioned, please let us know. Email press@estateagenttoday.co.uk.

CARDINAL HUME CENTRE: £19,000 has been raised by a (freshly-rebranded) Chestertons team in Grosvenor's 13th Annual Dragon Boat Regatta at Marlow. The agency set the fastest time in each of the rounds to beat 27 other teams to the coveted trophy.

CHARITY VOLUNTEERING: Staff from across five branches of Waterfords, in Camberley, Sunningdale, Chobham, Fleet and Yateley, have completed their first week of volunteering, after each agreeing to donate one working day to help in the local community.

The first team spent a day with Camberley-based charity Make-a-Wish Foundation. The team was tasked with helping to put together more than 2,500 fundraising packs to be sent out to supporters of the charity.

Another team of five Waterfords volunteers embarked on a day of manual labour at Frimhurst Family House in Frimley Green - a manor which welcomes disadvantaged families from all over the country for short respite breaks.

Gary Brook, Waterfords director, says the team had an extremely tiring but very rewarding day. The team at Frimhurst Family House looked after us tremendously well and I am delighted that, in a very small way, we were able to contribute to such a fantastic facility.
