What Are We Doing ?
In September 2018, our directors Frank & Alison will be undertaking an incredible challenge trekking over 10,000 steps in the Yan Mountains, covering 50Km of the iconic Great Wall Of China, to raise money and support for Mental Health.
We will be supporting our local Community, 'Heads Up' which is a charity doing an amazing work providing care, support and guidance to individuals affected by Mental Health issues, including Dementia and learning disabilities.
This charity is close to our hearts, as Alison's dad had Alzheimer's and it was incredibly sad to see him suffer from this illness.
Our aim is to raise £10,000 with 100% of all money donated going to Heads Up Somerset.
