• Arthritis Research UK

• British Heart Foundation

• Brain Tumour Research

• Guide Dogs for the Blind

• Leukaemia UK

• Lincoln 27th Scout Group

Nigel R Bottom, Witham Group managing director, said: “We’re extremely proud to know that we have contributed to so many great charities over the years.

“Our teams, customers and suppliers have done a tremendous job and have been very generous raising thousands of pounds that will improve the lives of people across the UK.”
