AFPA Trust: Celebrating a year of giving!

The AFPA Trust Festive Drinks on 4^th December raised an extraordinary £10,000 for The Ambulance Staff Charity (TASC). This remarkable milestone reflects the generosity, dedication, and spirit of the asset finance community.

AFPA Trust would like to thank the sponsors who made the event possible: VIP Apps, Catfoss Finance, and VitrX; Raffle Sponsors: LTi Technology Solutions, Propel Finance, Lendscape, VitrX, and NetSol; and Auction Sponsors: LTi Technology Solutions and Joey Evens, AFPA Trust Member and Trustee of TASC.

A year of generosity

In 2024, the AFPA Trust has already donated £56,390 to 26 charities. And if the AFPA Trust Christmas Lunch on 13th December reaches its goal of £40,000 for MacMillan Cancer Support, AFPA Trust will close the year with nearly £100,000 raised. This achievement is a testament to the compassion and commitment of AFPA Trust’s incredible supporters.
