Allison Thompson, managing director, said: “I would like to say a huge thank you to our staff, customers, business contacts and the general public who have shown such fantastic support to our fundraising efforts.

“Festive Friday was our final charity event of the year and I am delighted to confirm that, as a result of the generous response we received, we have managed to reach our 2016 fundraising target of £50,000 for this fantastic charity.”

Leaders has partnered with Together for Short Lives since 2015 and each branch is connected to its nearest children’s hospice.

Nick Appleby, head of corporate partnerships at Together for Short Lives, said: “We are hugely grateful for the support of Leaders again in 2016.
