May – Leonard Cheshire Challenge
We supported the Leonard Cheshire Kielder challenge weekend, which ran from Friday 26 May until Sunday 28 May.  Volunteers were given Friday as part of their Just an Hour entitlement but gave up the rest of their weekend.  Volunteers were buddied with a disabled person and a Leonard Cheshire member of staff to participate in activities such as climbing, abseiling, canoeing, kayaking, archery and orienteering.  32 hours donated.

Grants awarded by employee committee to Grass Roots projects through funds administered by the Community Foundations.
