Staff from Withy King have raised over £4,000 for local South West charities Children’s Hospice South West, Wiltshire Air Ambulance and Helen & Douglas House after cycling 136 miles over two days.
The route saw the Withy King team start out at Children’s Hospice South West in Bristol before riding to the head office of Wiltshire Air Ambulance in Devizes and then finishing in Oxford at Helen & Douglas House.
Earlier this year each of the three charities were chosen as Withy King’s regional charity for 2012 in each of the respective regions the firm operates; Swindon, Oxford and Bath / Bristol. The total amount raised has been split between the three charities.
Withy King partner and chair of the firm’s charities committee Chris Kane said: “As promised earlier this year when we unveiled our new brand, we are committed to making a positive impact on the communities we work in and this sponsored bike ride is one of many initiatives we have undertaken under our new charities strategy.
“We would like to thank our friends, family and colleagues for their generous donations and look forward to our next fundraising campaign.”
