Celebrating Andy Syvret

A Night of Generosity, Joy, and £80,000 Raised for Charity

On Thursday 13th February 2025 over 350 of us gathered to honour and celebrate Andrew Syvret, raising an incredible amount of funds for two amazing charities: Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association Southampton and Winchester Group, and Tree of Hope – Jemima’s Journey.

Meridian was proud to be part of the Solent Professionals Annual Charity Event (SPACE) committee, working alongside Pure Communications Group to help bring about such a fantastically successful event.

While the lead up to the event took a heart breaking turn following the passing of our great friend and colleague Andy Syvret, the evening was filled with joy, inspiration, and a huge amount of love and generosity was shared. It was a truly uplifting and moving occasion.

The deepest thanks to everyone who sponsored, donated, organised, raised awareness, attended and every other contribution in between. Because of our collective efforts we raised over £80,000 which is absolutely incredible and will go a long way in supporting these two vital causes.
