The money raised from the Peaky Blinders evening was added to Russell Roof Tiles Give 4 Good charity pot, which now stands at £39,500.
Leading pitched roof tile manufacturer, Russell Roof Tiles has raised £4,500 from its first ever charity "Peaky Blinders" themed race night, held at the Pirelli Football Stadium in Burton.
The RRT team along with friends, family and customers dug out their flat caps and flapper frocks as they enjoyed a night of betting and boogying for a good cause.
Along with bringing the glitz and glam, attendees dug deep in their pockets and by end of the night attendees and sponsors had helped to surpass their fundraising target and raised £4,500.
Paul McLoughlin, Commercial Services Director, said: "We're thrilled with how the night turned out and want to say a massive thank you to our friends, family, colleagues and members of our community who showed up and supported us in one way or another. We're over the moon with how much we raised and know that the charities we're supporting this year will be grateful, especially with sponsorships from local transport firms as we know this a tough time for many businesses."
The money raised from the evening was added to Russell Roof Tiles Give 4 Good charity pot, which now stands at £39,500.
The firm intends on splitting the money at the end of the year to ten charities close to its Burton and Lochmaben sites, including Burton YMCA, Burton and District Mind, Dumfries and Galloway Canine Rescue Centre and The Food Train Dumfries.
Since 2015 Russell Roof Tiles has supported 33 businesses local to Burton and Lochmaben, hosted 39 fundraising events and donated £113,500 to good causes.
