The Amber River Foundation

What better way to start this year's festivities than by joining around 1,400 other "Santas" for a 4.5k walk/jog/run around the City of London?

The team at Amber River East Anglia gather to help raise money for Suffolk Mind - a worthy cause close to many of our hearts.

Amy Bamber and Sue Butler from our Adviser Support team donned their walking shoes in June and completed the eight mile ‘Moonlight & Memories’ walk for St Catherine’s Hospice, raising £455. The walk is 8 miles long, takes place at night and is designed to raise money for the hospice as well as allow participants the opportunity to remember loved ones they may have lost through illness.

On 24 May, Ryan, Elise and Jasmin attended Exeter based cancer support charity FORCE’s Support and Information centre for Shipman’s first “volunteering day”, as part of our ongoing relationship with them. We joined forces with their head gardener Galvin and three other volunteers to update areas of their garden.

Every Easter we hold a Jacobs Join, raffle and quiz. For those of you who haven’t heard of a Jacob’s Join, it is a meal where everyone brings a dish and shares it with each other. This annual tradition was again enjoyed by all the team, with a huge spread including pizzas, sausage rolls and lots of cake!
