ONE of Scotland's leading farming, food and finance businesses, ANM Group, has raised £5500 for Diabetes and Alzheimer Scotland charities, following a campaign involving a wide range of fundraising activities.

With all proceeds to be split even between the two charities, staff across all divisions raised funds by organising and participating in monthly cake days, race nights and discos, themed clothing days, members’ open golf competition, Christmas card donations, raffles and the London Marathon – ran by Scott Naismith from the Thainstone Specialist Auctions division.

Grant Rogerson, chief executive at ANM Group, said: “I’m very proud of our staff at ANM for raising more than £5000 for two very worthy causes. The group has a strong track record of supporting charitable organisations and we look forward to continuing with our future fundraising efforts.”

The group recently concluded its Facebook charity calendar competition aimed to raise funds for two charities Cash for Kids Aberdeen and the Royal Northern Countryside Initiative. The calendar features top agricultural photos submitted by members, customers and farming enthusiasts, and will go on sale for £8 from Thursday, November 1.
