WMT Chartered Accountants are proud to have taken part in the recent Dragon’s apprentice scheme organised by Connect St Albans, in which local businesses (dragons) were teamed up with 6th form students from schools in St Albans to help them to raise money for local charities.
WMT’s team was from St Columba’s College the ‘Logarithms’ and were tasked with raising money for St Albans based charity the Daylight Club Charity, a very friendly social club for adults of working age with physical disabilities living in the St Albans.
After a business planning and strategy meeting with the Logarithms it was decided that the best fundraising approach to take was to hold a quiz night, this event was well attended by a number of people in the St Albans community and helped to raise £1283.15 for the Daylight Club.
“We were thrilled to be involved in this project, we work with clients everyday to help them to maximise their business potential. Through this scheme, we proved we can do it ourselves by converting £100 to over £1,200 for the charity. The Logarithms were a good team to work and they grasped the fundamentals of business quickly. It has also been a privilege working alongside the charity; they do so much for the community for so little so helping them to raise their profile and to fund some club outings is fantastic.” Andy Robinson, Corporate Finance Director, WMT – Chartered Accountants
