GENEROUS staff from an accountancy firm managed to raise more than £5,500 for a Taunton cause during a year of fundraising.

Staff at A C Mole and Sons (ACM), which has offices in the town, raised the total for the Taunton Opportunity Group (TOG), a small pre-school specialising in supporting families with babies and young children with a wide range of special needs and disabilities.

Fundraising events hosted across the 12 months included a coffee and cake morning, skittles night, office sweepstakes, quizzes, an open air theatre event, Christmas raffle and cake sales.

Many donated their time to help run and organise events as well as making donations including raffle prizes.

ACM managing partner, Christine Glover, praised the effort.

She said: “This is a fantastic sum to have raised for our 2016 charity of the year, and a big thank you goes to all the staff, fellow professionals, clients, family and friends who supported the fund-raising so generously.”
