CASS Doubles Impact at Grace Cares’ Pimp My Ride Event
At Grace Cares, we believe in the power of community, creativity, and collaboration to drive meaningful change. Our recent Pimp My Ride VIP launch at The Hub at St Mary’s was a shining example of these values in action, bringing together local talent, generous supporters, and a shared commitment to reducing waste and promoting sustainability.
Transforming Waste into Art
The event was a unique celebration of creativity, with local schools and colleges participating in a one-of-a-kind project to transform Zimmer Frames into beautiful works of art. These frames, which might have otherwise ended up in landfill, were given new life through the skill and imagination of the students. Their incredible designs not only showcased their artistic abilities but also aligned perfectly with Grace Cares’ mission to repurpose and redistribute care equipment.
The evening was made even more special by the presence of Paul Barnes, Managing Director of Cloud Accounting Support Services (CASS), our bookkeeping support. Paul joined over 140 attendees in voting for his favourite design, helping to support the budding talent of local students and the broader mission of Grace Cares.
A Generous Gesture
A highlight of the night was our charity raffle, which successfully raised £600. However, the generosity didn’t stop there. In a heartwarming gesture, CASS decided to match the amount raised, doubling the total to an impressive £1,200. This contribution will go a long way in helping us continue our work of saving care equipment from landfill and ensuring it reaches those in need.
“We are incredibly thankful to Team CASS for their generosity,” said Hannah Montgomery, co-founder of Grace Cares. “Their matching donation not only boosts our funds but also shows the power of businesses coming together to support important causes. Together, we are making a real difference.”
A Night to Remember
For all of us at Grace Cares, the Pimp My Ride VIP launch was about more than just fundraising; it was about bringing our community together to celebrate creativity, sustainability, and shared values. The room was filled with energy and enthusiasm, with each attendee playing a part in the success of the evening.
Paul Barnes of CASS expressed his pride in being part of the event: “I’m proud to have been a part of this event and to have witnessed firsthand the incredible impact Grace Cares is making. At CASS, we believe in going beyond traditional client support, and this was a perfect example of how we can make a difference together.”
As we reflect on the success of the Pimp My Ride VIP launch, we are filled with gratitude for the support we have received from CASS and everyone who attended. Your contributions, whether through donations or simply by being present, have helped us take another step towards achieving our mission.
We look forward to continuing our journey with you, our community, as we work together to create a more sustainable future. Thank you for being the change you want to see.
