A business solutions specialist has pledged to raise £3,000 for charity in the next three months.Staff at Bond will be undertaking a range of activities where all of the money raised will be donated to Action for Children.
Bond’s technical director Peter Clark will be cycling the Coast to Coast (C2C) route with three friends on August 7. The journey, which begins at Whitehaven and ends in Sunderland, spans over 140 miles and will take two days to complete.
Peter said: “I thought that the C2C would be a great way to raise money for the charity, although I am a little worried as I haven’t cycled anywhere near this distance before. I’m very excited and think it will be a great challenge, although I’m not looking forward to sharing a dormitory with the other guys.
“I think it is really important for businesses to support charities and give something back to the community and hopefully we exceed our fundraising target. Action for Children play an active part in our community and it is vital that businesses support them.”
In addition, Bond’s financial controller Julie Curtis will be participating in a 10,000ft skydive at Peterlee Airfield on September 12.
Julie said: “I wanted to challenge myself and do something a bit different and the idea of skydiving seemed great as it is something I would never have considered doing.
“Although I am nervous, the jump is for a fantastic cause and will be a once in a lifetime experience so I am really looking forward to it.”
Bond is also participating in Byte Night this year where its staff will sleep outside for a night to experience what it is like to be homeless. As well as raising as much money as possible, the team is also hoping to raise awareness of the good work that the charity does within the local community.
Bond’s managing director Derek Curtis said: “We think Byte Night is a great way to raise money for Action for Children and when they approached us to help organise the event we jumped at the chance.
“I think Byte Night is a fantastic opportunity for businesses to understand exactly what some young people in the region go through and why Action for Children’s work is so important. They have a huge presence in the North East and they need local businesses to get involved and support their projects.
“As we are on the board for the event, we aim to get as many volunteers on board and make sure that Byte Night a huge success.”
