Raising Money for the Heart of Kent Hospice

Raising a smile while raising some money

To celebrate Advo’s first year as an organisation focussing just on HR & payroll, we held our first Cobdown Country Fair & Sports Day. It was a great opportunity to have some fun while raining money for our charity partner, The Heart of Kent Hospice.

Jess Hall commented “In July Advo held its first annual Sports Day, where employees participated in traditional sports day games followed by a delicious BBQ accompanied by family in our beautiful grounds at Cobdown House.  We raised an impressive £506 at this event alone and continue to raise money for the Heart of Kent Hospice as a corporate charity partner to support their mission to help those in need.”
