Dronfield-based Financial Planner Belmayne is in line for an award from a regional business community for its work with local charities.

Its Belmayne Foundation has been shortlisted for an East Midlands business community award.

Through the Foundation more than £33,000 has been donated to small, local organisations since 2019 by the Chartered Financial Planner.

Fundraising is split equally between selected annual charities that support health and wellbeing and provide relief for those in need, it said.

This year's selected charities are Chesterfield’s Fairplay and the Just Good Friends Club, which operates across Derbyshire.

Belmayne is one of seven organisations in the running for the award, all of whom are involved in initiatives that support local communities.

The independent firm is shortlisted in the Community category at the East Midlands Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) Celebrating Small Business Awards.

The winner will be announced at the regional finals on 15 March 15 at the Leicester Marriott.

Belmayne partner, Ben Smalley, said: “We are thrilled to have our charitable efforts acknowledged by a panel of leading business experts.

“Playing a meaningful role in the community we serve is really important to us and since launching the Belmayne Foundation, we have worked with some fantastic unsung heroes across North East Derbyshire/Sheffield.

“We are really looking forward to attending the FSB Awards finals next month and celebrating the achievements of small businesses across our region that are punching above their weight.”

Sheffield-based Belmayne Independent Chartered Financial Planners is a specialist family-oriented Financial Planning business established in 2004.

The firm is a member of LinkedIn lobbying group Financial Planners United.
