LeasePlan UK raises over £100k for Help for Heroes

LeasePlan UK’s charity committee has organised sports challenges, cake and samosa sales, internal raffles and a family fun day at Sandhurst Memorial Park, which attracted over 3,000 visitors.

The biggest fundraising effort, which helped LeasePlan UK achieve more than its £100,000 target – was the LeasePlan UK and Help for Heroes industry charity dinner, a masquerade ball held at Ascot Racecourse on Friday 22 April.

Matt Dyer, managing director at LeasePlan UK, said: “We are hugely proud to have supported Help for Heroes over the past 12 months with our fundraising efforts. It’s a charity that is close to many of us within LeasePlan UK, so it’s a great honour to be handing over more than £100,000 today.

“We hope the money we have raised as a business will assist the continuation of the fantastic work Help for Heroes is already doing.”
