Tea Time Event to Benefit Children’s Charity

TaxAssist Accountants is hosting a TaxAssist Tea Time event this week at their offices right across the UK. The event is being held as part of a national campaign by TaxAssist Accountants to grant some very special wishes for children with life threatening illnesses.
Round Table Children's Wish grants wishes to children with life threatening illnesses
TaxAssist Accountants have chosen to work with the Round Table Children’s Wish Charity right across the UK within their network of 175 accountancy offices to help raise money to enable wishes.

Sarah Robertson, Business Development Director says “By raising money from this event we will give the children something really special at a time when they are facing difficulties in their lives.” 

Helen Jeffery, of Round Table Children’s Wish, said: “We’re thrilled to be a part of this community event.  We have a lot of wish requests from children with life-threatening illnesses.  With the support of TaxAssist Accountants we will be able to help these children and their families.  We aim to bring a little bit of magic and create some wonderful memories the children and their families will never forget.”

Since its foundation 19 years ago, Round Table Children’s Wish has granted more than 1,300 wishes to children throughout the UK. Past wishes include one young girl who sang for her idol, Simon Cowell and children visiting Disney or swimming with dolphins. Many children wish for a laptop - a lifeline enabling them to stay in touch with family and friends while they’re in hospital.
