Albany Software raises money for local charity

Albany Software aims to have several charity events every year. In September the chosen charity was local Alton based charity - Cardiac Rehab.

Cardiac Rehabilitation Centre helps those who reside in North Hampshire to get back to work as soon as possible after suffering from heart problems. The Centre was opened in 1997 after 20 years of hiring rooms at Alton Sports Centre. An appeal raised the £750,000 to build the Centre, totally from voluntary contributions. It has helped over 6,000 people since then, with currently 700 people regularly exercising in the gym and attending pre and post surgery information sessions. The Centre's running costs are currently almost £200,000 a year.

Albany Software ran a charity day involving a cake sale, Tombola and car wash, and we managed to raise a brilliant £200.00 - which we hope will help to make a difference at the centre. Our achievement was covered in the local paper, The Alton Herald.
