The P&A Group revealed, on Monday 8th January, that employees have voted North East Wales Mind as the company’s charity of the year for 2024.
Commenting on the announcement, Steve Morgan, Managing Director of the P&A Group said:
“Our team of employees is very dedicated to raising money for charity and this year have voted to raise funds for North East Wales Mind. The charity’s face to face, phone and online services offer vital support to people dealing with mental health issues, which is sadly needed more now than ever before.
“Every year our employees challenge themselves to come up with innovative ways to raise money for a good cause and there is a host of exciting events planned. From an abseil down Liverpool Cathedral to taking part in the Manchester Marathon and the Chester Santa Dash, there are a number of physical challenges planned as well as tried and trusted favourites such as various raffles and a quiz night. We’re all really looking forward to getting started and hope to raise as much money as we can for this very worthwhile charity.”
Employees of the P&A Group have set a fundraising target of £10,000 for 2024. Other charity initiatives to reach this target include, a “Time to Talk” cake day, “A month without” and a daily steps challenge.
