Trent Peek, group director at CCM Group added: “CCM Group is thrilled to be working in partnership with Nottinghamshire Mind throughout 2021.

"The initial purpose for organising and hosting The Big Notts Raffle during Mental Health Awareness Week was to try and help raise awareness of the charity within the local community.

“To have raised £1,600 for the charity is incredible and I feel very proud of the team for putting so much passion, effort and commitment into the organisation of the event, making it the success it was.”
