Thorntons Law raises £27k for Dragons’ Glen charity
Staff at Thorntons Law have raised more than £27,000 for charity over the past five years, The Courier reports.
The firm has taken part in the Dragons’ Glen challenge since 2012, which challenges businesses to create a product and establish a business for just £500, and then generate as much profit as possible in five months.
The proceedings from the challenge go to Children 1st, a national charity promoting the safety and well-being of vulnerable children and young people.
Staff at Thorntons raised £8,544.16 this year, bringing their five-year total to over £27,000. Dragons’ Glen has raised £358,758 for Children 1st in total.
Thorntons fundraising director Barbara Kidd said: “The total raised by Dragons’ Glen since 2012 is phenomenal and has helped improve the lives of over 10,000 children, young people, parents and carers for each of these five years. We could not do our work without this support.”
