Much younger visitors than usual arrived at the offices of Cheltenham-based Accountants, Randall & Payne at the weekend.

Children poured into the Shurdington offices, with parents in tow, to take part in a Family Fun Day organised specially by the firm of accountants and business advisors in aid of the Scoo-B-Doo charity.

Randall & Payne committed itself to raising funds for the charity, which supports the neonatal unit at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, and its event enabled it to hand over another £1,000 to the cause.

"There was a steady stream of visitors throughout the day, with both indoor and outdoor activities, there was something to entertain families wishing to dodge the occasional shower.

"Parents and children alike enjoyed testing their skills on the football shoot out hosted by local social media agency Skylight9, alongside fairground style hook-a-duck and ring-the-bell.

"Children were able to try on police uniforms and sit in a community police car, but the fire engine's arrival mid-afternoon stole the show - and again when they sounded the siren on the way out," said Fiona Hughes, marketing manager for Randall & Payne.

"Meanwhile, inside, Emma from Boogie Beats kept the pre-schoolers entertained with her sessions of singing and musical story-telling. Afterwards, they were off to the card-making corner hosted by The Indigo Den or to have their face painted by Hattie Face painting."

Musical entertainment was provided by Randall & Payne's singing accountant, Gina Gardner, followed by band The Strays.

Rhianne and Julie, of R&J Catering, provided hot dogs, burgers and chips and Randall & Payne staff offered home-made cake and hot drinks in the firm's café area.

With generous donations from staff, clients such as Aspire and Officeworx, and local businesses, the bottle tombola and raffle ensured visiting families left without any spare change.

More than 40 raffle prizes, included Lunar City family passes from Aspire GL1, 'access all areas' passes for Leisure@ Cheltenham, Cotswold Motor Museum family passes, tickets for Beaufort Polo Club and Hatherley Manor Hotel Spa passes for two.

"The firm are extremely grateful to everyone who contributed to a successful fundraiser for Scoo-B-Doo, who are based at the neonatal unit at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, including parents from the Scoo-B-Doo committee; Sarah Edgeworth and Joseph Cox, who helped to run the event," said Fiona.

Randall & Payne's next charity event is its Quiz Night, with BBC Radio Gloucestershire's Faye Hatcher as quiz master, on Thursday, July 4. Apparently it is not too late to book your team of four. The £50 entry includes a Fat Toni's pizza.
