Bournemouth-based B2B fintech firm Twenty7tec has raised £3,250 in its 'Twelve Days of Christmas Campaign' to go to children's hospice and Dorset charity Julia’s house and for life-changing stem cell treatment for eight-year-old Macey-Mai who has neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).
The campaign saw Twenty7tec donate 12 days of advertisement space on its mortgage platform Velocity to 12 lenders.

Each lender will have a dedicated advertisement day to be featured on Twenty7tec’s website, social media and in its Partnership Bulletin, which reaches 20,000 mortgage advisers.
CEO of the fintech group James Tucker, who also completed a charity trek of Killamanjaro, which raised over £3,500 for Macey-Mai, said: "Thank you to each lender who has supported us. We’re very grateful for your donation to our Twelve Days of Christmas Campaign.
"This marks the start of our ongoing fundraising activity for Julia’s House, a brilliant local charity to our headquarters.
"I also know how much this means to Macey-Mai’s family, and it goes towards helping them reach their target to have the treatment to help improve her life."
The sponsoring lenders were Penrith Building Society, The Vernon Building Society, Scottish Building Society, Norton Home Loans, Hanley Building Society, Lendinvest, OSB, MT Finance, Newcastle Building Society, Atom Bank, MHBS, Coventry.
NF1 is a genetic condition, which causes tumours to grow along nerves but also a range of different symptoms, including birthmarks, tumours under the skin, clusters of freckles, as well as problems with bones, eyes and the nervous system.
Macey-Mai’s family is hoping she can receive life-changing stem-cell treatment, which is only available privately in the US.
Julias House is Twenty7tec's primary charity for 2024. It provides care for children with life-limiting and life-shortening conditions - in its hospices, at home and out in the community.
