Roger Black and Johnson Fleming team up for Acorns

Johnson Fleming, the group pensions, risk and healthcare service provider, is holding a charity dinner and auction in aid of Acorns Children's Hospice at The Venture In, Ombersley, Worcestershire on Monday 30 April 2012. The evening will be hosted by Roger Black, MBE, and Johnson Fleming hopes the event will raise £5,000 for their charity of the year.

Tickets are available at £95 per person on a 'first come, first served' basis. Following welcome drinks, guests will enjoy a five course dinner cooked and served by Simon Fletcher, Johnson Fleming's client relationship director, assisted by some of the Johnson Fleming team. It is also an exciting opportunity to meet Roger Black who, for 14 years, represented Great Britain in the world of athletics, both as an individual 400m runner and as a member of the 4x400m relay team. He won 15 major Championship medals including European, Commonwealth, and World Championship Gold medals. His greatest achievement was winning the Olympic 400m Silver medal in 1996.

Acorns offers a network of care for life limited and life threatened children and young people, and their families. You can find out further information by visiting www.acorns.org.uk.

Commenting on the evening, Simon Fletcher, Client Relationship Director said:

"Toby Fletcher, Chef patron of The Venture In, has kindly donated the use of his restaurant for the evening. With a consistent reputation as one of the region's leading restaurants, and having been awarded 2 AA rosettes for the past 14 years, I know that Toby will make sure that we deliver a great evening.

As well as hoping to fill the restaurant, we are asking for prize donations for the charity auction and any appropriate products or services that are likely to attract bids on the night, will be most welcome. "

Tickets are £95 per head and will be allocated on a 'first come first served' basis. Welcome drinks will be included, together with wine to accompany the meal. If you would like to buy tickets or have any questions, contact Debbie Court at Johnson Fleming on 0870 242 8600.
