Northamptonshire Has Something For Everyone

Supporting the Northamptonshire Community Foundation

We started backing the Foundation with money we raised from our 2008 Celebrate Northamptonshire Dinner. This was a great success, and had the added bonus of the Treasury agreeing to match the funding we raised, so that our contribution is doubled.

Other LYG events that support the Northamptonshire Community Foundation include:

The Run 09

The LYG team are now in serious training for The Run 09 this October. All sponsorship money we raise will go to the Fund. Wish us luck (or even sponsor us if you’re feeling generous – phone 01604 609393 for details.

Celebrate Dinner 09

Following on from last year’s successful Celebrate Dinner, this year’s promises to be even more spectacular, with even bigger and better items to bid for in the Fund-boosting auction. Find out more by visiting the Celebrate Northamptonshire website.

DNG 3 Peaks Challenge

A team of eight intrepid adventurers from DNG – one of the largest independent accountancy companies in Northampton – will be swapping business suits for walking boots next month to tackle the National Three Peaks Challenge to raise funds for the Northamptonshire Community Foundation Fund and the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

Intrepid adventurers from DNG

The group will be scaling the three highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales, all within 24 hours! Starting at dawn on Saturday 12th September they plan to conquer all 3,560ft of Snowdon in North Wales before travelling to Cumbria to climb Scafell Pike at 3,206ft and then ascend 4,406ft to the top of Ben Nevis in Scotland.

If you want to sponsor DNG in their ambitious endeavour, call Victoria New on 01604 657200 or email victoria.new@dngca.com Sponsorship forms are also available on reception at DNG’s offices in Northampton and Daventry.
