Edgware firm raises £18,200 for St Luke's Hospice

An accountancy firm based in Edgware has raised £18,200 for St Luke’s Hospice through a charity walk. The Nine Bridges Challenge was organised by RDP Newmans, with 40 staff members participating in the 6.93-mile event.

The walk was undertaken in memory of Sarah Perez, the late wife of RDP Newmans partner Lyndon Perez. Mrs Perez received care from St Luke’s Hospice before her death in 2025. The hospice provides palliative and end-of-life care across Harrow and Brent.

Christine Swallow has led the 7th Edmonton Guides for over 30 years, fostering confidence and skills in young girls.

The funds were raised through 216 individual donations. Mr Perez stated he was "incredibly proud" of the team's achievement, adding that the amount raised exceeded his initial expectations. He expressed gratitude to clients, friends, contacts, and the local community for their support.

A group of 20 team members visited the hospice's Kenton Grange site to present the cheque. During their visit, they learned how their fundraising would contribute to care services and saw sound therapy equipment, previously funded by Mr Perez, which supports specialist sessions in memory of his wife.

St Luke’s chief executive Jo Pearce acknowledged RDP Newmans' "remarkable commitment, kindness and generosity".
