£7,630 raised for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity
As part of our 70th Anniversary, we pledged to donate £70 from every sole agency instruction over 70 days during the summer, to support The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. Having concluded on 8th September, our campaign has raised a massive £7,630 from 109 instructions.
£70 for 70 days ran from the 1st July to 8th September, with all branches of Proctors committed to fund-raising. This was backed by coverage in the local papers, eye-catching posters displayed in each branch and an advertising programme. The word was also spread on social media to reach out to potential sellers. The campaign was inspired by a personal connection. Rodney Jackson, Negotiator at Proctors’ West Wickham branch, has a young daughter, Florence, who is currently undergoing treatment for a rare abdominal neuroblastoma cancer. You can read more about Florence’s story here.
“We are thrilled to have raised an incredible sum to help such a worthy cause,” said Charles Proctor, Partner at our West Wickham branch. “We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who entrusted us to sell their property during this time. By instructing Proctors, you have played a big part in supporting a charity which does remarkable work in helping those affected by cancer.”
On top of £7,630, we have also been busy raising money through other activities during our anniversary year, increasing the total to £8,240. In the summer, we supported local Beckenham event, Market on the Green holding a raffle for the charity.
“We are delighted Proctors has raised the wonderful sum of £8,240 for the benefit of The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity,” said Amanda Heaton, Head of Community and Corporate Fundraising. “Thanks to their generosity, we are able to fund ground-breaking clinical trials, new patient facilities and state-of-the-art equipment to provide patients with the very best care.”
