Wealth manager Brewin Dolphin’s Manchester office will undertake various fundraising activities for local domestic abuse charity The River Manchester in order to support some of the most vulnerable people in society. The charity provides practical help and advice to women, men and children experiencing domestic or sexual violence, suffering from alcohol and drug dependency or involved in prostitution. It also helps those who are in debt and struggling to cope.
The support comes on the back of a fundraising event held last year by the office, which saw staff individually run, walk, cycle and row over 5,000km in aid of the charity to raise over £10,000.
Bradley Russell, investment manager at Brewin Dolphin’s Manchester office, said: “The River plays such an important part in helping to bring hope and support to those facing or fleeing domestic violence and abuse, and those marginalised in society.
“At a time when the charity’s services have been more in demand than ever, its primary source of income has dried up, as it was forced to close its outlets as part of the national restrictions. We have an exciting schedule of events for the year ahead, to raise much-needed funds for this wonderful charity.”
Lydia Chan, chief executive of The River Manchester, said: “We are thrilled to have the support of Brewin Dolphin. The company’s donations last year enabled us to help 50 women and 60 children to flee abusive situations and start a new life. With Brewin Dolphin’s support, we can reach out and help more vulnerable people.”
