As part of andersonbainLLP's 25th anniversary in 2025, staff and partners have been leading fundraising initiatives to support the efforts of three distinct charities helping people across the North-east and beyond.
AberNeccesities, Friends of Anchor and Sarcoma UK are each set to receive a £6,000 donation from andersonbainLLP to support the essential work that all three charities do on a daily basis to improve people’s lives.
Paul Flecher Herd, Partner at andersonbain said “Whether you helped organise events, took part, donated, or supported in other ways, your contribution has made a real difference and will have a meaningful impact on each of these charities. A tremendous team effort – thank you all very much!”

AberNecessities provides disadvantaged families with the essential and basic necessities that no child should go without.
From nappies and formula milk for babies, to clothing, toys and equipment for children aged 0-18 years, the charity works tirelessly to ensure that the basic needs of a child are met.
Currently 24% of children living in Aberdeen are living in poverty, meaning the need for AberNecessities has never been greater.
Michelle Herd, Co-Founder at AberNecessites, said: “A huge thank you to everyone at andersonbain for raising an incredible £6,000 for our charity! The funds raised will go a long way in supporting our ongoing focus that no child should go without.”

Sarcoma UK is the only charity in the UK focusing on all bone and soft tissue types of sarcoma. Sarcoma is a general term for a group of cancers that begin in the bones and soft tissue.
Every day, 15 people are diagnosed with sarcoma in the UK (around 5,300 people per year). The charity funds vital research and offers support for anyone affected by sarcoma cancer and campaigns for better treatments.
Isabella Montefusco, Sarcoma UK, said: “I want to say a massive thank you to everyone at andersonbain for fundraising for Sarcoma UK last year. We are truly honoured that you recognised our charity and supported us. You have made a huge difference for the sarcoma community, and we’re very grateful.”
Friends of Anchor is a charity that supports people in the north of Scotland who are affected by cancer or a blood disorder.
The ANCHOR Unit is a collective of specialised wards and clinics within Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. Their founding aim was, and remains to this day, to provide the best possible treatment, care and support to patients.
