Manheim Auctions of Bruntingthorpe pulled out all the stops to raise money for county hospice charity LOROS and recently handed over a cheque for £5,030.

The firm held a variety evening featuring comedians, a live band, auction and more to raise funds, which was supported by Manheim staff, family and friends. Contributions also came from Manhiem’s clients.

The firm’s assistant general manager Zaiga Jinkinson said: “We are committed to giving back to the community and supporting charities. LOROS does great work for local families and raising this money for them is something we are very proud of.”

“We were lucky enough to have the support of many companies who kindly donated fantastic prices for both an auction and raffle.”

Over the past three years, Manheim has raised over £150,000 for several good causes.
