£2000 for The Tom Bowdidge Foundation charity

Our business is focused specifically on the Healthcare Insurance market however, as a company we believe it is essential to put something back into our community. Each year we work with a local charity and do our best to raise money for them throughout the year. In 2015, Lianne Harrington of SMP Healthcare Ltd met with Richard and Nikki Bowdidge from The Tom Bowdidge Foundation and knew this was a truly worthwhile local charity who dedicate their time to raising money to support young people and teenagers suffering from cancer. The choice of charity for 2016 was easily made.

Lianne Harrington, Frank Oxberry, Andrew Barber and all the team at SMP Healthcare Ltd would like to thank their friends, colleagues and business associates for helping them to raise £2000 for the Tom Bowdidge Foundation on the 28th January 2016. We held an evening of music and food with a magician to keep everyone entertained at Crofters Wine Bar in Witham which we called “Tuck in Fork Out”. We were amazed at the generosity of donations for the silent auction where we had a Trackday, Designer handbag, 2 Golf days, Tottenham Hotspur tickets, a sweet hamper and a Bosch cordless hoover to name but a few of the prizes available. The event was a great success and Richard and Nikki joined us and our guests for drinks early in the evening where they were pleased to speak to people about the work they do in memory of their son Tom.
