A Soham company has helped to raise over £75,000 for charity.
Witham Oil and Paint, at 28 Regal Drive, raised £4,255 at their annual charity dinner dance taking the total amount raised to over £75,000 since the first event 25 years ago.
The company has been hosting the annual dinner dance for employees, customers and suppliers since January 1993 and raises money for charity every year through an auction and raffle.
This year, the money raised has been shared between six charities, chosen by Witham employees in Lincoln, Soham and Lowestoft. The chosen charities are:
• Arthritis Research UK
• British Heart Foundation
• Brain Tumour Research
