Nottingham property law firm, Landsmiths, recently hosted an Ocktoberfest event at The Bierkeller, Nottingham raising £4,000 for local charity The Core Centre.
The event, which took place on Thursday 12 October, was supported by a number of local businesses and brought together the Nottingham business community for a night of celebration, networking and fundraising.
Guests enjoyed traditional Bavarian cuisine and drinks, live music, and plenty of festive entertainment. To boost fundraising efforts there was also a charity raffle, which featured prizes donated by a number of local businesses.
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 with the 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 a difficult winter ahead.
Sam and Becky from The Core Centre said: “We can’t thank Landsmiths enough…it was a fantastic event! We were absolutely blown away by everyone’s generosity! The money raised will make such a difference to our charity, filling our funding gaps and helping us to continue our essential services within the community. A huge thanks to everyone involved.”
Sam from The Core Centre added: “We made some great connections on the night who have offered their help/expertise. The opportunity for us to make these connections is just as valuable to us as cash donations.”
Rachael Briggs, director at Landsmiths, said: “At Landsmiths we’re passionate about supporting and giving back to our local community. The Core Centre is such an amazing charity and we wanted to host something big and get other businesses involved to raise as much money for them as possible.”
Vik Moothia, director at Landsmiths, said: “It was a fantastic evening and we’re extremely grateful to all those who attended, sponsored the event, donated raffle prizes, and also to The Bierkeller who donated a set amount for each speciality drink that was purchased on the night.”
Sponsors of the evening included 200 Degrees, A W Lymn, Chord Consult, Groundsure, Innes England, LANDA Associates, Logical Demolition, Monk Estates, Node Consulting, PKF Smith Cooper and SIA.
