A Royston-based family business has donated £1,000 to three families in the local community.

The Accountancy Practice worked with award-winning North Herts-based motorbike group the Kaotic Angels to identify and distribute the funds.

The big-hearted bikers are led by Grant Prest.

"When we were considering how best to help our local community this Christmas, we decided that we wanted to support the charitable work that Grant and his team were doing and show that support doesn’t always come from the obvious places," said David Froggett, managing director at The Accountancy Practice.

"We are often told that we are not stereotypical accountants and we felt the same way about the Kaotic Angels and their dedication to helping others.

"They were very happy to identify three struggling households for whom we could help ‘give Christmas’. We were moved when we heard the reaction of the families." 

Grant Prest added: "It was very emotional, there were tears and disbelief at the kindness shown.

"The families said they were surprised that a business or a motorcycle club wanted to do so much for local people and that it was so heart-warming to see that help comes from the places you least expect it."

The generous team of volunteers hit the headlines when they were featured on breakfast TV as a result of winning a national community award organised by ITV’s Good Morning Britain​.

The Kaotic Angels have since taken part in the Marks & Spencer Christmas advert campaign, being one of a handful of charitable organisations to do so.

The group started their valuable work during lockdown and have distributed over 200,000 meals to those in need in the community and provided all manner of help and assistance.

Their motto is ‘whenever, wherever, however’. It was this approach - and the valuable work they do in Stevenage running a food bank every weekend - that gained them a nomination in the Pride of Stevenage 2022 Awards.
