National estate agency network Sequence has announced raising a record-breaking £18,605 in 2016 for its chosen charity CLIC Sargent, the UK’s leading charity for children and young people with cancer and their families.

Sequence has been supporting CLIC Sargent since 2001 and has now raised in excess of £390,000 over the course of the partnership.

Sequence’s fundraising efforts in 2016  included everything from personal challenges like the London Marathon, skydives and the Prudential Ride London, to fun staff initiatives including branch bake sales and dress-down days, a MINI bike raffle, a football tournament and the company’s annual Partners’ Ball.  Many branches also got involved in the much-loved Christmas Jumper Day, which raised £1,500 alone.

David Plumtree, group estate agency chief executive at Sequence, said: “Our partnership with CLIC Sargent is really valuable to us and we all thoroughly enjoy fundraising year after year for such a worthwhile cause.

“The work they do in the fight for young lives against cancer is so important and we’re extremely proud to be able to contribute to and be a part of that.

“We’re now looking forward to an even bigger year of fundraising in 2017.”
