Staff at a Bury accountancy firm are celebrating after raising thousands for a cancer charity.

Chartered accountants, Horsfield and Smith on Walmersley Road, took part in the Bury 10k in November and amassed a staggering £2,490 for Bury Cancer Support Centre.

The centre is a small independent charity who provide practical, emotional and social support from a team of experienced and professional staff and volunteers.

The charity receives no help from the government or any other agency and relies on donations to help keep the centre running.

The past few years have been very challenging for the centre due to the pandemic and having to cut back on fundraising opportunities.

Jan said: “This year marks our 20 year anniversary.

“We have a diary of exciting events planned to commemorate this milestone and are looking for local businesses to get involved.

"We will be publishing details of these events on our website soon”.
