Smith Austin Chartered Accountants

A huge thank you to Smith Austin Chartered Certified Accountants for their kind donation to our Big Purple Raffle 💜

Emma and Stuart called in yesterday with not one, but two £50 Amazon gift vouchers to support our fundraising efforts as part of our Big Purple Push & Pull Day, raising money for Weston Park.

It’s always amazing to see local businesses getting behind such an important cause, and this generous donation will make a fantastic raffle prize.

Thank you again to Emma, Stuart and everyone at Smith Austin — your support is really appreciated 💜👏

Thanks also to all the local businesses who have donated so far - The generous nature from the people of Barnsley really is something to behold :)
