Funeral Directors raise £8,000 for local charity in support of much-loved colleague

A Funeral Directors got back in the saddle for their annual race night to raise vital funds in honour of a colleague who is battling Motor Neurone Disease (MND). 

The thoughtful team at WH Putnam Funeral Directors, which has branches in Harrow and Edgware, raised £1,500 at the special event for the North London Branch of the Motor Neurone Disease Association. 

This makes a total of £8,000 raised for the cause, chosen because Jerry Bentley, the Hub Manager for WH Putnam and other Funeral Partners brands in East London, is living with MND. 

Senior Funeral Director Lee Dimmock organised the night where supporters tried to back their winners and work out who would be first past the winning post. 

“It was another brilliant event, and we are delighted to have raised another £1,500,” Lee said. 

“When you’re supporting a cause which is close to everyone’s hearts, it makes a real difference. 

“We are always keen to back the North London branch because we know how much they directly help Jerry, and other people who are in similar positions.”
