Now that all monies have been collected, I am pleased to announce that with the fantastic help of UKC, friends, staff and customers I managed to raise £4725.24 for SCOPE and £500 for Childline.
Ksjs, Maggie Halpin, Mum D, Luke Carter, Alan James, Andrew Wildthang, Bud the Cool Cat, FranticFran, David Simmonite, Tim Wager(WagerHolds) and Steph all donated through ‘JUST GIVING’ website - http://www.justgiving.com/davedouglas (this site is still available to donate on).
We also held a NW schools charity climbing day, a Little Angels climbing competition and a free climbing day at Awesome Walls, Liverpool. All proceeds from cakes and hot drinks went to charity and many many customers kindly donated there change into the charity tin.
After the SCOPE event the staff agreed we should support a local rescue team. For personal reasons we chose the Ogwen Mountain Rescue Team. To date the collection box has raised over £300.
The Staff collection box was counted and it contained £100. When brought up at the staff meeting on how if should be spent, all staff were in favour of donating it to the Rescue team (with no bullying!).
If anyone else would like to get involved with SCOPE please visit http://www.scope.org.uk/adventures/ or alternatively there are many other charities that would be welcome of your support (I’d be willing to help out if necessary)
So I’d like to say a BIG THANK YOU to all who helped out and donated.
