Mendip District Council staff have raised a total of £1,459 for their Staff Charity of the Year, Time is Precious.
Every year, Council staff nominate a new cause to support for 12 months..
Throughout 2020, staff raised funds for Time is Precious, but with numerous lockdowns, it was challenging to undertake fundraising activities, with many staff working from home. As such, staff voted to continue raising money for the charity throughout 2021.
Funds have since been raised through sponsored activities and online fundraisers such as raffles, competitions and donating to the charity instead of buying Christmas cards for colleagues.
Stuart Brown, Chief Executive of Mendip District Council, said: “I am blown away by the dedication of Mendip staff to their Charity of the Year, Time is Precious.
