Bents hand over £26k to cystic fibrosis charity

Bents Garden & Home have handed over a cheque for £25,907 to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, beating their target by more than £10,000 and breaking the centre’s fund-raising record.

Matthew Dickinson, whose two-year old son Isaac was diagnosed with the condition at birth, led the campaign.

Bents has nominated Epilepsy Action as its 2016 charity of the year. MD Matthew Bent’s son Elliot was diagnosed with the condition last year.

Matthew Bent said:  “We are absolutely delighted to have raised so much for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and have to say a massive thank you to Matthew and his passion and commitment to a cause which is so close to his heart.

 “And a huge thank you also to all our customers and colleagues who have helped throughout the year to make the campaign such a success.  We are now looking forward to working with Epilepsy Action and are keen to do just as well in 2016.”

Epilepsy can affect anyone at any age and from any walk of life. “I have had a direct personal experience of this year’s charity, of the vital work and support they provide,” Matthew Bent said. “Along with my wife Vicky and the rest of the family I’m looking forward to taking on some special challenges this year and hoping we can have another successful year of fundraising.”
