A Cambridgeshire-based Chartered Financial Planning firm raised more than £1,000 for local hospital.

Beacon Wealth Group's team beat their target and raised £1,174 for the Woodlands Centre, Hinchingbrooke Hospital during a Stand Up To Cancer event.

They took over the St Neots Market Square and held a bike race during the event which saw a team cycle 55.9 miles on the road between the firm's four offices, while another team from Beacon had a static bike and cycled 100 miles.

Tony Larkins, managing director, Beacon Wealth Group, said: “Although we have lots of offices we are only a small team, I’d like to thank everyone from the team involved, it takes a lot of hard work, effort and manpower to put an event like this together.

“The team did fantastic and I would like to thank all the other local businesses that got involved.

“It’s a fantastic cause that will benefit all of us in some way, well done to all involved.”
