Employees at A Perry & Co Ltd, a leading independent, family-owned, British manufacturer and supplier based in Cradley Heath, will climb Snowdon on 9 June 2018 to raise money for Birmingham Children's Hospital Charity, its annual chosen charity. The trek is supporting the charity’s ongoing mission to raise vital funds for new ways to treat and cure childhood diseases and make the hospital feel just like home.
The climb will be undertaken by 10 staff members, including Will Dougan; Grant Esp; Ashley Armstrong; Patrick Corcoran; Chris Chater; James Dale; Chris Rowley; Lee Crosby; Phil Harvey; Martin Hinton, who’ll be picked up at 3am to begin the adventure. To date, the mission has generated £912 out of the £1,000 target. To support the fundraising efforts, people are invited to visit www.justgiving.com/fundraising/perrys-snowdon-challenge and get involved with the hashtag #PerrysSnowdonChallenge2018.
This initiative is part of an ongoing series of activities for A Perry’s Charity of the Year. Company members are currently taking part in an internal challenge called ‘Perry’s Biggest Loser’ to donate the equivalent weight loss i.e. pound (lbs) for pound (£) by the end of the second quarter.
Guy Perry, managing director at A Perry & Co Ltd, says “We don’t miss any opportunity to be involved in raising money for local causes and charities that are close to our hearts. Our employees are local to the area and go the extra mile for the causes they believe in. The Snowdon Challenge for Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity is a great teambuilding opportunity while staying active and lending a helping hand. We hope to win the support of our local community as well to reach our fundraising targets.”
In addition to supporting Birmingham Children’s Hospital, staff also raised £2,765 on a successful Pink Day in aid of Breast Cancer. This was achieved through raffles and other fundraising activities, as well as Steven Perry, son of owner Guy Perry, running from his home in Romsley to the firm's premises in Doulton Road.
