Together Housing team raise money for Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice on Tolkien Trail
Housing company colleagues raised a magical sum on the Tolkien Trail for a children’s hospice.
The Repairs team at Together Housing undertook the sponsored walk to raise money for the organisation’s Charity of the Year, Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice. Twenty-seven employees trekked The Tolkien Trail, a circular route near Hurst Green, inspired by the landscapes that influenced J.R.R. Tolkien's writings.
The walkers raised an impressive £520 for the West Yorkshire-based hospice that provides care and support to children with life-shortening conditions and their families.
Jonathan, planning team leader at Together Housing and walk organiser, said, “There was a genuine buzz about the place, I enjoyed the day from start to finish. The walk took us around three hours, lots of steps and lots of sleep needed to recover.
“I want to say a massive thank you to all that came. Myself, Tom and Mustafa wanted to make a social event where people got together for an amazing cause, and we really achieved that.”
