Cosy backs networking group’s fundraiser

Cosy Direct has joined forces with networking group Derby’s Finest to raise thousands of pounds for a Derby charity.

Members of Derby’s Finest recently held a virtual bingo night for Revive, a charity which will use the money raised to take families on a much-needed holiday to popular seaside resort, Butlins, later this year.

Prizes for the bingo night, which was organised by Claire Twells, of Smith Partnership, Sarah Loates, of Loates HR, and Mercia Image’s Amanda Strong, included hospitality tickets to watch Derby County.

Members raised £1,500 on the night – which was match-funded by Cosy Direct.

Amanda Ellse, who set up the ethical education supplies firm with her husband, Peter, 10 years ago, heads up the charitable foundation of the business, Cosy Foundation.

She said: “The Cosy Foundation supports charities and good causes both at UK grassroots and abroad.

“Revive is a very worthwhile charity which has done incredible work for families in Derby during a difficult time.

“We’re delighted to be supporting them and would also like to congratulate the members of Derby’s Finest for hosting a hugely successful event.”
