On the 7th May 2017, our Senior Recruitment Consultant Curt Walker from Doncaster took part in a charity boxing match named Boxing4Heroes.
In total, 18 fights took place that night – with both male and female competitors.
The event took place at the Proact Stadium in Chesterfield – the home of Chesterfield Football Club.
A huge 800 tickets were sold to spectators – Including guests from Essential Recruitment – Gary Wilson (Chairman) Rob Wilson (Chesterfield Branch Manager) Grace Hammond (Senior Recruitment Consultant) and her partner, Jay, Megan Evans (Resourcer) and her partner, Louis. Representatives from the Hrenadier Guards & Mercian Regiment were also there on the day to show their support.
Over £15k was raised on the night!
Even more impressive though, is since early last year, a whopping total of £90,000 has been raised!
This money will go directly to Chesterfield Community Trust and Help for Heroes, who focus on helping Ex-Servicemen and women integrate back into civilian life – which includes finding employment.
We donated £200 to the event, and made Boxing4Heroes our ‘Charity of the Month’ for May.
Each month we are supporting a different, local charity. June will be the turn of http://www.thornberryanimalsanctuary.org/
