A charity is encouraging businesses to take part in a challenge which sees them battle it out to raise as much money as possible.

The Accumulator Challenge, in aid of St Nicholas Hospice Care, kicks-off on June 28 and the hospice is on the lookout for firms to take on the three month task.

Last year’s Accumulator Challenge raised £23,176.

Each business is handed a £50 note and charged with turning it into as much money as possible.

Over the years creative money making antics have included, family fun days, fitness challenges, treasure hunts and doughnut days.

While more traditional fundraisers, such as cake sales and quizzes, have also proved very successful.

The firms taking part will compete to win the top fundraiser prize, with other accolades also presented at an awards night in October.
