TITLE: BRIGHTSIDE GROUP HOLDS SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISER FOR LOCAL CHARITY SARA

Local insurance broker Brightside Group held a successful fundraising market at their head office in Aust.
In total Brightside raised a remarkable £1,263.50 for local charity SARA (Severn Area
Rescue Association) after holding its first ever market.
The event took place last December at Brightside Park, where local traders including popular award winning Bristol-based business Pieminister, provided an afternoon of festive fun with delicious food and drink, handmade and locally sourced gifts and a performance from Princess Elsa from Disney's Frozen.
SARA press and communications officer Haydn Lyall, who also attended the event, said: "We are delighted with the final total, which will be a great help in funding our stations and the services we provide. Thank you to Brightside and to everyone who attended and donated".
SARA is an Inshore Rescue boat and Land Search organisation covering the Severn
Estuary and the surrounding area and provides a vital service to the local area.
Brightside's Chief People Officer, Kate Banks, said: "As a large local employer, it's important
to us that we support good causes in the area.
"SARA performs a really important safety and rescue function along our coastline and its volunteers give their time to a very good cause that can save lives. We're delighted to have been able to raise money for this vital service."
Brightside is committed to supporting local charities and causes, raising money where possible through fun and energetic fundraising events.
