This latest donation takes the total raised by the Belmayne Foundation to more than \u00a358,000 since its inception in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Jane Deakin, group leader of the 3rd Holmesfield Scouts, said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe were delighted to receive Belmayne\u2019s support last year, after they found out about our campaign to build a new headquarters and community facility in Dronfield. The activity space is now operational and the firm\u2019s donation will enable us to better equip it for the 110-plus children and young people who use it regularly. We are very grateful to the partners and staff who have worked so hard to raise the money.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The funds will be used by the Just Good Friends Club to run a new caf\u00e9 at the old Whitwell Station, which it has adopted as its base. The group provides a safe and friendly environment for adults with learning disabilities to enjoy both evening and daytime social events.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the Belmayne Foundation is joining forces with St Luke\u2019s Hospice in Sheffield and Sheffield Parent Carer Forum. Partner, Ben Smalley, who coordinates the firm\u2019s charitable activities, added:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe have thoroughly enjoyed raising funds for our 2025 charities and it has been a pleasure to hand over such sizable donations. We are very proud to be making a real difference to our local community and can\u2019t wait to start all over again!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For more information about the work of the Belmayne Foundation, telephone (01246) 298181, visit www.belmayne-ifa.com or follow the firm on X, @belmayneifa.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovebusinesseastmidlands.com\/love-business-news\/\" onclick=\"history.go(-1); return false;\" class=\"btn btn-red-outline small\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&lt; Back<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Added by Love Business East Midlands | 22 January 2026 Dronfield-based financial planners, Belmayne, have handed over \u00a38,000&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":713582,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8817],"tags":[51806,748,393,4884,51805,1620,16,15,51804],"class_list":{"0":"post-713581","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sheffield","8":"tag-because-theres-enough-doom-and-gloom-reported-by-the-other-media-channels-the-east-midlands-is-full-of-good-business-news-stories-and-we-want-to-shout-them-from-the-rooftops","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-great-ideas-and-free-resources","13":"tag-sheffield","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-were-here-to-share-good-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115940111500809971","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713581","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=713581"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713581\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/713582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=713581"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=713581"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=713581"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
