PenCarrie’s Staff Forum team recently hosted a fundraising event in aid of The British Red Cross.
Each year the Staff Forum team arranges a vote for the staff’s chosen charity from a series of nominations. Following the events in Ukraine, PenCarrie staff choose The British Red Cross to support with their annual fundraising, made up from a series of events throughout the year.
The latest fundraising event was held on Friday, May 20 at local football club Willand FC, where over 60 staff members took on the old-classic ‘It’s A Knockout’ event. Featuring huge tubes, chariots, a castle wall, wonder wheels and the mangle, this classic team game was provided by south-west company ACF Events and saw friends and families supporting the fundraising efforts by the PenCarrie team.
Along with a bake sale, a raffle, food sales and an entry fee for each team taking part, a total of £1,607 was raised at the event, with PenCarrie matching the total to make a fantastic £2,614 raised for The British Red Cross.
