PKF Smith Cooper Systems Launches ‘Spare A Chair’ Christmas Campaign

PKF Smith Cooper Systems, an award-winning Sage business partner, has launched its 2023 Christmas campaign, ‘Spare A Chair’.

The company is asking local businesses to donate the cost of an extra seat at their Christmas party. The total raised will be split between three charities: the NSPCC, Shelter, and the Derby Food 4 Thought Alliance.

This campaign follows previous work fundraising for charities based across the country, including donations to the Thames Valley Air Ambulance, Winchester Basics Bank, and The Cowshed as part of their event earlier this year in Reading.

PKF Smith Cooper Systems’ Managing Director, Chris Smith, said:

“Over the last few years we have done some great things working specifically with food banks local to our offices. This Christmas, we really wanted to take things up a level and had this idea as we were organising our own Christmas party! For the price of one extra attendee at the Christmas party, businesses can make a major contribution to one of the charities below and help the most vulnerable at a particularly tough time of year.” 

Companies who want to donate to the campaign can do so by going to the campaign’s dedicated page on GiveWheel – https://www.givewheel.com/fundraising/1606/spare-a-seat-christmas-2023.
