26/09/2011

In aid of local charity The Wellspring

VERNON STAFF headed up to Yorkshire this month to face the gruelling Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge in support of Stockport’s charity for the homeless and disadvantaged, The Wellspring!

Ian Keeling, Head of Sales & Marketing took part in the challenging 24 mile walk, taking in the three peaks of Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-ghent. He was accompanied by staff from Legal & General, who pledged to donate £750 to the Society’s chosen charity.
 
Blisters, sore knees and aching feet were among the complaints. Fortunately, morale remained high among the group and they managed to complete the walk in 10 hours.
 
A whopping £2,675 was raised in sponsorship for The Wellspring.

I rang and actually spoke to someone straight away and not an automated service.
