Over the past few weeks Agents Giving have received a number of grant applications for help with the costs of setting up charity events from the Rightmove Fund.

Here is just a selection of the great events that have been taking place and some that are coming up to help raise money for a number of different charities:

Fresh Start Properties in Bridgend Luke Jones ran from Holyhead to Cardiff over five days in April. That is the equivalent of five marathons in five days. He was supporting Tree of Hope (www.treeofhope.org.uk) who offer hope to the families of sick children in the United Kingdom and Ireland who need specialist medical surgery, treatment, therapy and equipment.

Manning Stainton in Leeds are taking part in the Paint Leeds Green event in Leeds on June 20.  In aid of Macmillan, there will be a mass collection in the city during the day and shoppers will be entertained by the fundraisers, and encouraged to make a donation.

Martyn Gerrard in Finchley, north London, are working with Accumul8 (www.accumul8.org.uk). The Accumul8 Photography Project teaches skills, including financial management, business start-up and presentation skills) to homeless and unemployed people culminating in the participants organising their own photography exhibition.

Harveys Estate Agents Charles Thursfield ran the London Marathon in aid of Children with Cancer (www.childrenwithcancer.org.uk).

Petty Estate Agents Several members of staff from Petty Estate Agents in Burnley are entering The Total Warrior Challenge (www.totalwarrior.co.uk) on June 28. This is a 12k course involving 30 punishing obstacles and is not for the faint-hearted. They are raising money for Pendleside Hospice (www.pendleside.org.uk) and hope to raise at least £3,000.

Findahome Online James Pattison is climbing Ben Nevis, the highest point in the UK, in June to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association (www.mndassociation.org).

Lines and James Abbie Sweatman is joining a team to trek along the Great Wall of China in October. She is raising money for the Chestnut Tree House (chestnut-tree-house.org.uk), a children’s hospice in Sussex caring for 300 children and young people with life limiting illnesses and to provide support for their families. During the trek, the team will raise enough money to cover the hospice’s care costs for the entire duration of the trip.

Pymm & Co in Norwich are organising a charity football match at Carrow Road, home of Norwich City FC, this month. They hope to raise £10,000 for Whizz Kids whose aim is to set disabled children free to reach their true potential and live their lives to the full.

If you are interested in helping your own chosen good cause, do bear in mind that Agents Giving can top up what you raise and also that the Rightmove Fund can help with your setting-up costs.

It really is a win-win situation for all concerned, delivering more money to those who need it.
