AF-PA raised £10,000 in summer charity event

The Asset Finance Professional Association (AF-PA) raised £10,000 (€11,236) for the ‘Make a Wish’ Foundation at its summer party.

The association held a summer networking and charity gathering at The Yacht London on 5 July, gathering 200 members for an auction and raffle in aid of its chosen charity.

The sponsors included Asset Advantage, Cordoba Rewards, Global Lifecycle, Grant Thornton, and Robin Toms. In December, the AF-PA’s Christmas event raised £12,000, helping the association to exceed £100,000 in funds raised since it began.

Johnnie Halliday, AF-PA chair for 2017, said: “Our asset finance networking events encourage participation by a broad spectrum of members and industry friends.

“We enjoy coming together for informal gatherings at modest cost, to engage and learn from each other whilst giving generously and having fun.”
