A TOTAL of £25,000 has been donated to good causes by estate agent Nicol and Co during 2022, writes Sonny Rackman.
The company, which has offices in Droitwich, Malvern, Worcester and Pershore, supported foodbanks, hospices and other honourable causes during the 12 months.
The fund run first began in March 2021 by offering each client selling a property the chance to donate £100 to a charitable cause of their choice.
Since then, almost £37,000 has been distributed to local causes including more than £10,000 given to St Richard’s Hospice and £2,500 to Acorns.
The Worcestershire Homeless Appeal Street Kitchen and Foodbanks in Droitwich, Malvern, Worcester and Pershore received more than £2,500 between them.
The Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust received £1,000 and £500 was given to the Worcester Warriors Community Fund.
Primrose and Kemp hospices also received donations.
Matt Nicol, managing director of Nicol and Co, said everyone at the agency appreciated being able to support so many wonderful charities, community organisations, volunteers and good causes across the county.
“The fact foodbanks were among the other top nominations reflects our customers’ awareness that the cost-of-living crisis has hurt some sectors of the community more than others.”
Alongside the community fund, sponsorship deals totaling nearly £10,000 were put into local businesses including Droitwich Rugby Club, Droitwich Cricket Club, football clubs including Droitwich Spa , Malvern Town, Worcester City and Kidderminster Harriers ladies, along with a number of other sports teams.
