More than 200 guests from across the business community – including clients and former partners of the merged firms – attended the ball where more than £37,000 was raised, with all funds going directly to RCCW’s current charity partner, Friends of ANCHOR.

Heather Stephen, head of commercial property and the chairperson of RCCW’s charity foundation said: “We are absolutely delighted to have raised such a fantastic sum of money from the evening and we are very grateful to our sponsors, Barratt Homes, the KR Group and First Scottish, all of our wonderful supporters, and to everyone who attended the dinner. These events could not be possible without such generosity and kindness.”

Friends of ANCHOR are a leading north-east charity who support those facing a cancer or haematology diagnosis through vital wellbeing services, research funding, medical equipment and NHS Grampian staff development and training.
