RBS kindly agreed to add a further £250 to this amount making total of £577 from this wonderful charity event.

Event organiser Jamie Burke of RBS Corporate said: “Well done to all of the teams that took part, helping to raise money for LOROS and congratulations to Spearing Waite for winning the tournament after a hard fought final with Grant Thornton.”

Alt textMagdalena Korytkowska, Partnership Development Assistant at LOROS, said: “We are extremely grateful that RBS continue to support LOROS and we would like to thank Jamie and everyone else who took part in this event. We hope that they really enjoyed themselves making a difference at the same time. The amount raised equates to the cost of eleven specialist complementary therapy sessions for patients and/or members of their family. It shows what a wonderful difference these kind of fundraising event can make to LOROS.”
