Colchester based Accountants Wood & Disney ‘Sponsor a Clinician’ with BASICS Essex Charity Partnership.

We are excited to announce the first corporate sponsor for our ‘Sponsor a Clinician’ partnership, Wood & Disney Ltd, who are sponsoring local clinician Dr Matt Buckland Hoby.

Each year our growing team of 25 BASICS Essex volunteer clinicians give their time to provide critical emergency medical care across Essex Communities. ​​​​

Matt, a GP by background, who has undertaken additional training in pre-hospital critical care, has been responding for BASICS Essex for over five years in the North East Essex area.

We spoke to Georgia Hines, Client Manager at Wood & Disney about the importance of this CSR activity!

Firstly, who are Wood & Disney?

Wood & Disney Ltd are your local friendly accountants based in Colchester. We are jargon-free and pride ourselves on being advisors to ambitious entrepreneurs building amazing futures together.  

Why do you think it is important to support local charities in Essex? 

We want to support the local community wherever we can and understand the difficulties local charities can face when compared to the large national charities. As a team, we want to support local charities alongside the national ones as it means we can see the impact our support provides.  

What made you choose BASICS Essex? 

I met the team at a chamber of commerce event and found out about BASICS Essex does and think this is such an important service, when I fed back to the wider team this is something which we wanted to support. The addition of supporting a Colchester-based clinician was a bonus and this is where most of the team live so will be great to support something so local!

What are you most looking forward to with the relationship? 

We are looking forward to supporting BASIC’s work, finding out more about what you guys do, how we can support you further and also learning some potentially life-saving skills along the way!

What fundraising plans do you have for the year? 

While we haven’t quite wrapped our brains about this part, we are looking forward to bringing the team together to come up with some fun ideas to fundraise!

We look forward to supporting the team with their fundraising journey.
