A local worthy cause was bowled
over when they received a cheque for £500 raised at a charity cricket match. The event held at Sidmouth Cricket Club, was organised
by Sean Priestley, Assistant Director of Brewin Dolphin Wealth Management
Company Exeter office who is a long-term player and member of the club.

Directors and staff members of
Brewin Dolphin donned their whites and challenged local professionals Kitsons
Solicitors to the match in aid of Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW), charity
of the year for both firms. The 20 /20
match was won by Brewin Dolphin and monies were raised with a charity prize
raffle.
The Exeter office of Brewin
Dolphin, one of the UK’s largest independently-owned private client wealth
managers, chose CHSW as their charity of the year 2014 in January and has raised
more than £2,500 to-date.
Tim Walker, Divisional Director and Head of Office Brewin Dolphin
Exeter says: “Sean is a keen
cricketer who lives in Sidmouth and we are delighted to be shirt sponsors for
his local club. He has worked hard to
organise this charity match supported by Kitsons Solicitors, who also have CHSW
as their chosen charity of the year. The
Exeter office of Brewin Dolphin has carried out a number of fun and interesting
fund-raising activities throughout the year and all the staff have fully
embraced this very worthy cause. I would like to thank Sean, Sidmouth Cricket
Club and also Kitsons for joining us in this friendly match. Although on the night Brewin Dolphin was the
winning team, the real and deserving winners are CHSW.”
Children’s Hospice South West helps
and support children and their families who are living with life-limiting or
life-threatening conditions: every day is dedicated to making the most of every
moment. Because life is unpredictable the charity is there day and night, all
year long - whenever they are needed.
Naomi Dymond, Corporate Partnerships Fundraiser – CHSW says: “We are absolutely thrilled to have the
support of Brewin Dolphin this year and for organising the charity cricket
match against Kitsons who also support us.
It was another fun and fantastic event and thank you to everyone
involved. Including the funds from the
cricket match, Brewin Dolphin has raised an incredible £2,532 so far this year,
which would fund one of our specialist children’s nurses for a whole month.
This really is such an incredible total, thank you. We rely almost entirely on
voluntary donations so each and every penny raised helps us to continue to
provide vital care and support for local families, when they need us the most.”
