Staff at Paramount in West Hampstead, London, raised over £3,500 for Agents Giving in a fundraising day with a difference.
Each paid a donation as part of a World Cup themed day, and was given a country to represent.
Everyone went to the office dressed as a representative of their country and also came with traditional foods.
Spencer Lawrence, the firm’s lettings director, went as a sumo wrestler and walked up the high street (he’s obviously not the quiet, retiring kind). A couple of strangers stopped him to give him cash. As you do when you met a sumo wrestler.
The day also brought support from Paramount’s contractors, and resulted in several people walking into the office to see what was going on – and giving money when they heard it was in a good cause.
It sounds like fun!

Ok sounds like a plan wilko, I'll do likewise.
p.s. that's a fiver now…..!
In my mind I was going to do a pound for every comment for nspcc. Unfortunately only 4 quid to them. We should try and lift the amount of comments on these stories…….it provides light relief from our day and turns our minds off the all important portal debate…….next amusing story that attracts 50 comments I'll give 100 to nspcc.
281 so far wilko……….
Well done guys, its good to put a bit back and let your hair down every now and then.
Good for the staff, good for the public to see and most importantly, good for all the people that the money benefits.
Is that £50 you're pledging wilko? Just email Agents Giving and they will let you know how……… 😉

Good fun, good cause and good publicity. You can't knock that 🙂
What an amazing story…….and WOW stunning action photos as well.
Don't know how many will read this important story, or how much the wearing of the sumo outfit affects the online portal debate, or Zoopla shares or office agency v home agency but………
Chances of scoring 50 comments?.
Here's MY contribution to the 50, wilko!
Well done to ALL those that partook in this event.
May you all be rewarded accordingly 😉
