“The generosity of the Nottingham business community was overwhelming.
Nottingham property law firm, Landsmiths, recently hosted an Ocktoberfest event at The Bierkeller, Nottingham. They raised £5,023 for local charity Nottingham Children, Young People and Their Families Project (Nottingham CYF).
Rachael Briggs, Director at Landsmiths, said: “Supporting local charities is at the heart of what we do, and we’re thrilled with the outcome of this year’s Oktoberfest. CYF’s work is truly life-changing, and we are proud to support them in every way we can.”
The event, which took place on Thursday, October 10, was supported by a number of local businesses. It brought together the Nottingham business community for a night of celebration, networking and fundraising.
Guests enjoyed traditional Bavarian cuisine and drinks, live music, and plenty of festive entertainment. To boost fundraising efforts there was also a charity raffle, which featured prizes donated by a number of local businesses, raising £1,714.
Vik Moothia, also a Director at Landsmiths, said: “The generosity of the Nottingham business community was overwhelming. We’re so grateful to everyone who attended, sponsored the event, donated raffle prizes, and, of course, to The Bierkeller for donating a portion of the proceeds from each specialty drink sold on the night.
