A Bromsgrove business has raised thousands of pounds for Birmingham Women's Hospital Charity. 

Employees at AFH Wealth Management completed several challenges and events throughout the year to reach the grand total of £26,331. 

This is the highest amount the financial advice firm has ever raised in a single year with challenges including bake sales, raffles and marathons. 

A group of 16 employees also completed a sunrise hike in Snowdon in April. 

AFH People Engagement and Experience Manager, Jenny Read, said: “We’re incredibly proud to have raised a record-breaking total for the Women’s Hospital this year.

"Working hard and having fun is an important part of the culture here at AFH, and our charity events really help to bring the office together.”

The total has smashed the firm's original fundraising target of £12,000 set in December last year. 

Senior Regional Fundraiser at Birmingham Children's and Women's Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Anna Pendlebury, added: “We’re extremely grateful for the enthusiasm and dedication that AFH staff have shown to our hospital.

"This donation will make a huge difference to the experiences of the women, babies and families in our care.”
