At Batcheller Monkhouse we take pleasure in supporting our community. Every year we make an effort to support a wide variety of charities, events and organisations. From running our own charity events to sponsoring local clubs and schools, please see below some of our past efforts:
Charity
Wear It Pink
For the last 3 years, Batcheller Monkhouse have taken part in Breast Cancer Now‘s fundraiser, Wear It Pink during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. Our staff have raised money by wearing pink clothes, baking pink treats and sourcing pink decorations for the office.
Charity Walk for Bowel Cancer UK In Richard Bingham’s Memory
On Saturday 23rd April 2022 a group of Batcheller Monkhouse staff, from the Battle office, took part in a 32 mile Charity Walk. The team walked the whole 1066 Country Walk from Pevensey to Rye in aid of Bowel Cancer UK. Tragically in 2020, our Battle Sales team lost a remarkable member of the team, Richard Bingham and in his memory, the Charity Walk took place on his 44th Birthday. After months of training and fundraising, the team exceeded their target and raised over £2,200.
Focus 10k
On Sunday 4 July 2021, Batcheller Monkhouse were thrilled to sponsor the Focus 10k fundraising event for The Chailey Heritage Foundation at Borde Hill Garden. Our Haywards Heath team volunteered to marshal the Hydration Station, providing fully recyclable cardboard cartons for the runners developed by AQUAPAX. The team cheered the runners on and the funds raised will go towards a new music room for the children and young people The Chailey Heritage Foundation support.
Little Princess Trust
Harriet Richardson, Associate Planner chopped off over 12 inches of hair and donated her locks to the Little Princess Trust. The charity provides free real hair wigs to children and young people, who have lost their hair through cancer treatment and other conditions. Well done Harriet!
Sussex Hospices Trail
Batcheller Monkhouse have been proud sponsors of Friends of Sussex Hospices for a number of years. Every year the charity runs ‘The Sussex Hospices Trail’, which usually takes place on the 7 and 8 October. The unique trail encourages people to enjoy the Sussex countryside, whilst remembering friends or family and raising money. In 2023 teams across the four Batcheller Monkhouse offices have walked parts of the trail closest to them. Whether it was in the glorious sunshine or in slightly damp conditions, they have helped to raise money and awareness for an incredible cause.
Art Exhibition
On 11 December 2019, our Battle office hosted an Art Exhibition of internationally renowned local artists and photographers to raise money for charity. The exhibition was curated by Lucy Bell of Lucy Bell Galleries and artists who exhibited their work were Rosti Romanoff, Russell Dorey, Kirsten Reynolds, Bruce Rae and the late Michael Putland. The evening was a huge success and over £300 was raised for Friends of Sussex Hospices.“This was a fun and different way of celebrating our 3 years at 68 High Street, whilst at the same time raising funds and awareness of Friends of Sussex Hospices for all the wonderful work they do. We were delighted to welcome Rosti Romanoff and Russell Dorey to the party and guests enjoyed hearing about their various art works”. Matthew Braxton, Partner.
Be Brave Don’t Shave
Several members of staff entered the annual Beating Bowel Cancer Decembeard challenge, encouraged by a colleague who was in the throes of cancer treatment. With the whole firm behind them, and the support of friends and family, an incredible £8,010 was raised.
Sponsorship
Batcheller Monkhouse are pleased to sponsor many local clubs and events including Claremont School Clarefest, Heathfield Show, Fletching Open Garden, Plumpton College, Mark Cross Primary School Fete, Brightling Flower Show and more.
Ex Endurro
We were pleased to support the Exe Endurro Round Britain Challenge. A team of 4 young men planned to row around Britain in July 2020 in support of Just One Ocean and the British Red Cross. The team who had no prior rowing experience, left Tower Bridge in London on the 5 July to start the 2,000-mile GB Row Challenge 2020, known as one of the toughest races in the world.
Newick Cricket Club
The Haywards Heath office is thrilled to continue their long relationship with Newick Cricket Club. As main sponsor, we look forward to our continued partnership. Keep an eye out for the new merchandise and here is hoping for a successful season starting in Spring.
Don’t Leave Anyone Behind this Christmas
In 2020, Haywards Heath Town Council ran a campaign called ‘Don’t leave anyone behind this Christmas’ to spread Christmas spirit to the local elderly and vulnerable residents. Christmas care bags were delivered to the residents and Batcheller Monkhouse sponsored the cause.
Mayfield Country Market Christmas Fair
In 2020, our Tunbridge Wells branch sponsored the Mayfield Christmas Fair. The team advertised the event with boards in the local area and offered Batcheller Monkhouse goody bags to visitors. With everyone following the Covid-19 guidance, the day was successful and safe.
