ACCOUNTANTS ONCE AGAIN ON TARGET WITH TENPIN BOWLING FUNDRAISER

More than £3,000 was raised for local good causes when local businesspeople got together for a popular annual charity tenpin bowling event in Lowestoft.

Organised by staff at Lovewell Blake, the event saw 14 teams from locally-based businesses competing at Richardsons Family Entertainment Centre in the town.  A team from TG Eaves Ltd carried off the team trophy, with Tracy Walker of George Durrant & Sons Ltd and James Hickman of Lovewell Blake taking the female and male individual titles respectively.

With generous support of the raffle by Paul Scarlett, match-funding the raffle proceeds from Barclays, and overall match-funding from the partners at Lovewell Blake, more than £3,000 was raised by the evening – money which will be distributed to local community organisations in the form of grants from Lovewell Blake’s Community Fund.

“Our annual tenpin bowling event has become a highly enjoyable staple in our fundraising calendar,” said Mat Waters from Lovewell Blake, who organised the evening. 

“As well as raising so much for local good causes, the event is a great fun way to get together with the local business community and to make a difference in our community.”

The Lovewell Blake Community Fund was set up in 2008 to mark the firm’s 150th anniversary, with the aim of raising £150,000 for local charities and community groups.  To date the fund has given out grants worth over £420,000.
