A charity trek undertaken by workers from an accountancy firm has generated £18,200 for a local hospice service.
Personnel from RDP Newmans, located in Harrow, tackled the Nine Bridges Challenge to honour Sarah Perez, who passed away in 2025 after receiving hospice support.
Sarah Perez was married to partner Lyndon Perez.
The walking route spanned 6.93 miles, crossing several of the capital’s most well-known bridges.
The fundraising effort attracted contributions from 216 separate donors, comprising both members of the public and commercial organisations.
A delegation totalling 20 RDP Newmans employees recently toured the Kenton Grange facility operated by the hospice.
During the tour, the group observed specialist therapy sessions supported by sound equipment purchased through a prior donation made by Lyndon Perez as a tribute to his late wife.
Jo Pearce, who leads St Luke’s Hospice as chief executive, accepted the donation and expressed gratitude to the firm for demonstrating such dedication and generosity.
Speaking about the accomplishment, Lyndon Perez stated that the sum raised exceeded his original hopes and that the backing received from clients, acquaintances and the surrounding community had been overwhelming.
He also recognised the organisation’s significant contribution to numerous families.
St Luke’s Hospice delivers specialised palliative and end-of-life services throughout the boroughs of Harrow and Brent.
The contributions collected will assist the hospice in maintaining its support for individuals and relatives facing challenging circumstances.
