Carter Bells in the Community
Carter Bells has strong links with the local community. We are proud to be a corporate sponsor of the Rose Theatre (rosetheatrekingston.org) and to support local charities. Many staff members have long associations with local voluntary groups such as the Rotary and Round Table. The firm regularly fields teams in charity events run by companies from the surrounding area (and sometimes we nearly win!)
Nominated Charity
In 2008 to coincide with the 150th Anniversary of the firm, Carter Bells hosted a Charity event - The Carter Bells Enigma Challenge. The event was attended by corporate clients with all proceeds going to a local Charity. The evening was such a success Carter Bells decided to make it an annual event.
We are delighted to confirm that on Thursday 10 May 2012, Carter Bells will be holding the 5th Enigma Challenge at The Richard Mayo Centre, United Reformed Church, Eden Street, Kingston, KT1 1HZ. The event will again challenge teams of four to a series of perplexing puzzles, dastardly dilemmas and challenging conundrums in order to crack the code and beat the Enigma.
To celebrate the Olympics coming to London, the Pre-Event Challenge this year is an ancient Olympic Event, Chariot Racing. The teams will have to construct their own working chariot and race it on the night. Whilst you may not be able to secure tickets for London 2012 Olympic Games, the teams at the Enigma Challenge will have automatic entry to our very own Ancient Olympic Event.
This challenging and fun event is to support our charity of the year, Princess Alice Hospice and raise awareness of the work that the Hospice does in our extended community. Please click here for details of the wonderful work of the Hospice.
Beneficiaries of the Enigma Challenge:
Much as we would love to support every charity that approaches us, we decided that concentrating our resources on just one charity each year would have more impact. Our main criterion is that our chosen charity (and it’s always a difficult choice) should be a local one.
• Princess Alice Hospice (2012)
• Momentum (2011)
• Momentum (2010)
• The Children’s Trust (2009)
• The Shooting Star Children’s Hospice (2008)
