Accumulator challenge raises £9k for hospice
A campaign to raise money for St Peter’s hospice has brought in £9,000 in 10 weeks.
The Accumulator Challenge challenged 12 local businesses, including Hughes Price Walker, Doubletree by Hilton, Bristol City Centre, The Bristol Port Company and Almondsbury Garden Centre, to turn the biggest profit from an initial investment of £50.
Doubletree by Hilton was commended for the Most Innovative Idea for their lunchtime triathlon, but the winning team was independent postal service ONEPOST, based in Portishead, which raised £1,586 using a variety of methods including organising a static bike ride in the foyer, covering the distance between Portishead and Paris.
St Peter’s Hospice corporate fundraiser, Caroline Booth-Morris, said: “We are delighted with the results of our first ever Accumulator Challenge.
“The businesses that took part did a great job of running and marketing their own fundraisers, and we’re so grateful for the time and effort they put in.
“We’re already looking forward to this year’s challenge and hope that even more businesses come forward and invent even more imaginative ways to raise funds for the hospice!”
