Nottingham property law firm, Landsmiths, recently hosted an Ocktoberfest event at The Bierkeller, Nottingham raising £5,023 for local charity Nottingham Children, Young People and Their Families Project (Nottingham CYF).
The event, which took place on Thursday 10th 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, raising £1,714.
Nottingham CYF is a grassroots charity dedicated to transforming the lives of young people and their families by offering educational and recreational opportunities, mentoring, and crisis support. CYF’s work focuses on Nottingham’s most under-resourced communities, empowering residents to access sustainable opportunities and develop their talents.
Susie Gray from Nottingham CYF said: “Sincerest thank you to everyone who turned up, sponsored the event, bought raffle tickets, donated prizes, helped organise – whatever you did to help, you!
“Landsmiths has been such an amazing firm to work with – generous, thoughtful, kind, compassionate and approaching their work with us with such integrity and respect. A brilliant and progressive company, staffed by a truly amazing group of people.”
Rachael Briggs, Director at Landsmiths, added: “Supporting local charities is at the heart of what we do, and we’re thrilled with the outcome of this year’s Oktoberfest. CYF’s work is truly life-changing, and we are proud to support them in every way we can.”
Vik Moothia, also a Director at Landsmiths, said: “The generosity of the Nottingham business community was overwhelming. We’re so grateful to everyone who attended, sponsored the event, donated raffle prizes, and, of course, to The Bierkeller for donating a portion of the proceeds from each specialty drink sold on the night.”
