Cradley Heath firm to put in rock solid effort for Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity
Workers from a Black Country manufacturer and supplier will be climbing Snowdon on Saturday.
The team from A Perry & Co Ltd in Cradley Heath, will raise money for Birmingham Children's Hospital Charity, the firm's 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 and Martin Hinton, who will be picked up at 3am to begin the adventure.
To date, the mission has generated £912 out of the £1,000 target.
Guy Perry, managing director at A Perry & Co Ltd, said: “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 team-building 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.
