A fabulous team effort for Action for Children!

It was windy and cold but it was worth it!

Last Friday, a team of 15 Philtronics staff climbed Pen Y Fan for Action for Children, our chosen charity. This walk was originally scheduled in June but it had to be re-arranged due to lockdown restrictions. The team was a great mix of super-fit and not so fit people, apprentices, shop floor and office staff, managers and directors.

We raised an amazing £467 in a very short space of time and would like to thank everyone for their support!

Action for Children protects and supports children and young people, providing practical and emotional care and support, ensuring their voices are heard, and campaigning to bring lasting improvements to their lives.

Since lockdown, they have supported over 10,000 vulnerable children in need of urgent essentials. In the last few months, their frontline staff have been a vital lifeline for vulnerable families who have been hit hard by the pandemic.

Last year, Philtronics managed to raise a whopping £6,735 for them through a variety of fundraising events. COVID-19 has certainly thrown a spanner in the works as far as charity events are concerned but we know that the families supported by Action of Children will need us more than ever over the next few months. Our next company event will be the Tough Runner Swansea Epic 10K which has now been rescheduled to May 2021 and we will no doubt organise a raffle in the meantime. Any prize donations will be much appreciated.

Together, we can help end childhood crisis.
