Rotherham Taylor staff raise more than £1000 for Samaritans
Rotherham Taylor is celebrating another successful year of supporting meaningful causes after raising more than £1,000 for Samaritans, as it prepares to announce its new Charity of the Year.
Over the course of last year, staff across the accountancy firm came together to support the charity through a series of simple but spirited fundraising activities.
The fundraising efforts included an Easter raffle and a popular office bake-off, with team members bringing in delicious homemade treats each week in exchange for donations.
The initiative created a steady stream of support for Samaritans while bringing colleagues together for a shared cause.
Samaritans provides a vital lifeline for people who are struggling to cope. Every ten seconds, a volunteer responds to a call for help, offering a safe space to talk without judgement.
Supporting good causes is a big part of the culture at Rotherham Taylor, with colleagues regularly choosing charities to back through fundraising and volunteering.
Rebecca Bradshaw, Director at Rotherham Taylor, said: “Samaritans is a charity that really resonates with our team because so many people know someone who has struggled or needed someone to talk to.
“It has been incredible to witness how our fundraising initiatives have brought everyone together and sparked really open conversations in the office, too.
“We are proud to have raised this money and grateful to everyone who baked, donated or bought a raffle ticket. We can’t wait to announce which charity we will be supporting next.”
In addition to the funds raised for Samaritans, the firm also makes one off donations to charities throughout the year as well as their annual donation to The Foxton Centre.
In 2025, Rotherham Taylor’s Community Fund also supported Recycling Lives.
As the firm prepares to announce its next Charity of the Year, staff say they are keen to build on the momentum and continue supporting causes that matter to colleagues and the local community.
