For
the past year, staff at Midlands based smoke and natural ventilation
specialist, SE Controls, have been raising funds totalling £6,504 for local
charity St Giles Hospice, which provides specialist care for patients with
cancer and other serious illnesses.
The
SE Controls staff found a variety of fun ways to raise money including fancy
dress days, unwanted item sales and the hotly contested annual SE Controls cake
baking competition that saw the Operations Director triumph for the second year
in a row with his famous lemon cake.
The
fund raisers joined up with Walsall Rugby Club to host a family fun day with a rugby
match and balloon release. The Walsall Vets gained victory over the Bloxwich
team and whilst age and athleticism wasn’t on their side the weight advantage meant
they won every scrum. The balloon release was a great success with the winning
balloon making it all the way to The Netherlands.
“Being
able to help support a great charity like St Giles is always rewarding” Mark
Soleil, who recently helped present the cheque to head of fund raising for St
Giles Helen Relihan, who commented “It really is a fantastic amount and the
money raised will go a long way to helping support those who need it most”.
