A team of cyclists from our Bristol office took on the ‘End of Summer’ charity bike ride. They cycled from Bath to our Bristol office, with a few pub/refreshment stops along the way! And they raised an amazing £300 for our nominated charity, Tom Harrison House (THH). Safeguard Engineering will match fund this bringing the total raised to a fantastic £600.
The work of THH is so important in supporting our Armed Forces veterans. We know from the team there that this £600 would pay for 20 Community Breakfasts. This is when family, friends and the whole community around those seeking recovery from addition can come together and support one another.
Commenting on the ride Steve Beech, Director said: “We were lucky with the weather for this bike ride and it was great to be out with some of the Bristol team on a sunny Friday afternoon. I am also very impressed with the amount of money raised by this elite team of seven. Safeguard is pleased to be able to match fund the £300 raised bringing the total up to £600. Steve Pearson has visited Tom Harrison House and seen the vital support they give to our veterans. We are proud to be supporting them.”
