Bristol office annual charity golf event
Capita Symonds Bristol’s recent annual golf event raised over £5,300 for charity. Held at the Kendleshire Golf Club, the event featured over 100 participants from across local businesses.
Two worthy charities benefited from the event - £1,340 was donated to the Portishead Junior Football Club to help them with their work with local youngsters, while £4,020 was given to The Meningitis Research Foundation which funds research to prevent meningitis and septicaemia, improve survival rates and outcomes, promote education and awareness to reduce death and disability, and give support to people affected by the disease.
The cheques were presented by John Wormald, Regional Director for Capita Symonds, to John Shaddick, Chairman of Portishead Junior Football Club, who was accompanied by a number of the club’s players. Emily Waller represented the Meningitis Research Foundation.
Capita Symonds has played a key role on a number of major projects in the area in recent years, including Merchants’ Academy, Cabot Circus, Oasis Academy Bristol, SS Great Britain and Bristol University.

Tuk-Tuk Tales
Jamie Muir Wood from Capita Symonds’ Procter Street office is currently piloting an autorickshaw - ‘The Gin Express’ - from Pokhara in Nepal to Kochi in Kerala, Southern India (via the Taj Mahal) to raise money for charity.
The rickshaw is painted in the colours of a World War II spitfire (with lemon and lime influence) and the team (Jamie plus two of his friends) are donning flying hats, goggles and jackets (at least whilst in the frozen north).
They have already raised £1,000 for the adventure's nominated charities - Mercy Corps (India) and Maiti Nepal, a Nepalese charity which helps repatriate women trafficked to India
The team are also raising funds for the NACC (The National Association for Colitis and Crohn's Disease) whose work has enabled Jamie to participate...

Depending on the team’s access to technology during the trip, you may be able to follow their progress at http://rickshawrun10w.theadventurists.com/theginexpress
