A fearless team of 30 individuals from across Alcedo Care Group have come together to raise more than £6,000 for Spinal Injuries Association.

In its biggest fundraiser to date, employees from the specialist homecare provider took part in a full day of exhilarating outdoor pursuits including gorge walking, abseiling and white water rafting to raise much needed funds for a charity that is close to the organisation’s heart.

'I was so nervous to begin with, but we bravely faced our fears and got stuck in. I’m pleased to say that all of us really enjoyed each of the activities – they were scary, but ultimately very satisfying, and we have raised so much cash at the same time.' - Adam Garvey, Group Events Manager.

Carers, care assistants, care coordinators and branch managers from across the North of England and Wales joined colleagues from the Southport head office, plus Alcedo Care Group's Husband and Wife duo that form the company Founders and Directors, Andy and Jo Boardman, to abseil through waterfalls, jump from heights into pools of water and brave the rapids on rafts on the River Dee in Llangollen.

Ensuring every penny of every donation and all the money raised from the day’s exciting events could go directly to the charity, Alcedo Care Group kindly covered the entry costs for all employees, a total of £3,000, and also donated a further £600 to the fundraising pot.

The result of everyone’s efforts is a huge £6,000 that will be donated to Spinal Injuries Association (SIA), a national organisation committed to helping those with spinal cord injuries live their lives to the fullest and Alcedo Care Group’s chosen charity for this year.

Group Events Manager, Adam Garvey, said: 'It was amazing to join colleagues from our Alcedo offices across England and Wales for a fantastic day raising lots of money for Spinal Injuries Association. I was so nervous to begin with, but we bravely faced our fears and got stuck in. I’m pleased to say that all of us really enjoyed each of the activities – they were scary, but ultimately very satisfying, and we have raised so much cash at the same time.'

Managing Director at Alcedo Care Group, Andy Boardman, added: 'I’m so proud of each one of the team for taking on these challenges and raising such a large amount for Spinal Injuries Association. As a Trusted Partner of this vital charity, we are committed to doing all that we can to support them wherever we can. We had a super day, full of laughs and great fun, and all for a good cause.'
