AN international group of bankers are getting set for a night under the stars to raise funds for Havens Hospices.

The sixth annual “I’m a Banker – Get Me Out of Here!” event is taking place on February 27 and 28 within the grounds of Little Havens Children’s Hospice in Thundersley.

Around 100 financial workers from various banking and financial institutions such as Swift, Deutsche Bank and RBS will spend the weekend at the hospice undertaking DIY, gardening and decorating tasks.

After a dinner and an evening of entertainment, quizzes and music the bankers will turn the lights off around 2am on Sunday morning. An awards ceremony will be held later that morning when participants will be presented with prizes in categories such as hardest worker and worst dancer.

Organisers are hoping the sponsored event will raise £100,000 for the charity.
