A GROUP of staff from a Wrexham recycling company have climbed to the peak of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) to raise money for Hope House Children’s Hospices.

A team of 19 members of staff from across the ASH Group’s head office on the Wrexham Industrial Estate and West Midlands depot, set off at the crack of dawn to climb the mountain and reach the peak, raising £1,700 to support seriously ill local children.

Company Director Andrew Hulme said: “It was an absolutely superb day, and we had staff from all over the organisation, who wouldn’t normally see too much of each other all get together to raise money for this wonderful cause.

“The work Hope House Children’s Hospices does in our local community is amazing, and we were honoured to be able to raise money and awareness as we climbed the mountain. We also did some litter collecting along the way, collecting three bags of waste.

“A huge thank you to G E Tools who made our charity T-shirts to help spread the word about Hope House, a huge thank you to all the staff for all their efforts climbing and fundraising, and thank you to everyone who has donated.”

This is the latest way that ASH Group are supporting Hope House, having already made it their Charity of the Year, has taken part in its £50 Challenge and sponsored last year’s Maesdu Golf Day.

Fundraiser Cat Dowdeswell said: “We are extremely grateful to ASH Group for their efforts in climbing Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and for all their fantastic support and fundraising.

“Without fantastic support from businesses like ASH Group we simply would not be able to be here for the seriously ill children and families that need us.”
