Plumb Center and Parts Center raise £100,000 for children’s charity

Despite many people feeling the pinch this past year, it is reassuring to see that support was still rife for the fundraising efforts of Plumb Center and Parts Center with an outstanding £100,000 raised for Action for Children.

The main event of the year was a challenging trek through Provence, where for five days 24 Plumb and Parts Center employees trekked more than 18km a day, through torrential rain and hail in the foothills of the Alps.

To help raise the funds for this trek, numerous fundraising activities were arranged and these ranged from traditional raffles and golf days to glamorous balls and Christmas parties.

All activities were met with an enormous level of support and in turn helped to make the trek such a success.

Action for Children is one of the UK's leading children's charities and dedicates its efforts to supporting children and young people affected by poverty, disability, abuse or neglect.

Action for Children has nearly 420 projects around the UK and helps about 156,000 children, young people and their families across the UK.

'Fundraising continues to be incredibly important to us all here at Plumb Center and throughout Wolseley UK,' said Keith Jones, Plumb Center's managing director.

'We are conscious that we use the scale and breadth of the company to help others wherever possible and have great admiration for the work of Action for Children.

'We were thrilled with this year's efforts and are grateful to all those who took part.'

Plumb and Parts Center will be continuing its support for Action for Children next year with plans already in place for a trek through Istria, Croatia and a challenging Andalucian bike ride from Granada to Seville.
