Soup kitchen takeover
March 2023
We've always admired the critical work that local charity Helping Hands Community Project do in support of the homeless and vulnerable. So when Vicky, one of our Paraplanners, mentioned we could help them out by taking over their soup kitchen, we signed up on the spot. We prepared two meals, dished up the food and served drinks to over 50 people in need.
“Taking over the soup kitchen was a great experience. It was rewarding to see the impact we were having on those who needed it, and it was nice to get to know them and hear their stories. I would love to do it frequently as the regular volunteers said how helpful it is when people take over and cook meals for them.” - Hannah Stanley, Independent Financial Adviser
Christmas Jumper Day
December 2022
You're probably pretty familiar with Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day - it's responsible for the annual parade of festive knits, raising vital funds to give children around the world the future they deserve.
Here at Simpson Financial Services, we never miss the chance to wear something a little daft and fundraise for a worthy cause. It's safe to say the vibe in the office was merry and bright!
Charity lawn bowls
August 2022
Our 2022 annual charity lawn bowls match was a great success, raising £750 for Leamington-based charity Helping Hands. We love a bit of friendly competition, especially when we get to join forces with our clients and make a difference to the lives of local vulnerable people.
The brilliant team at Avenue Bowls Club were on hand to help us out, and we had a relaxed afternoon of food, drink, and bowls. A big thank you to everyone who got involved. Keep an eye out for next year's match...
Shoebox appeal
December 2021
We've been putting together shoeboxes for the Christmas Shoebox Appeal for Helping Hands in Leamington.
Helping Hands is an inspiring local initiative that delivers shoeboxes (filled with small pieces of joy) to adults, teenagers, children and families who are homeless and/or vulnerably housed in Leamington Spa, Warwick and Kenilworth.
