Team 'Safe Local Trades' has helped raise £6,400 for Age UK Peterborough

During September and October each year, Peterborough-based Safe Local Trades organise fund-raising events for their chosen charity Age UK Peterborough. This year there were three types of event - a Firewalk on the 19th September, the Great Eastern Fun Run on 13th October and several charity skydives in between. All events were an overall success and the organiser, Eileen Le Voi, owner of Safe Local Trades, said “we would like to thank each and every volunteer who took part, and to everyone who sponsored them in their events, all of which helped to raise an amazing £6,400 for this very worthy local charity".

Eileen went on to say "it is a privilege to raise funds for Age UK Peterborough – funds which help them to continue to deliver vital services to an ever growing population of older people in Peterborough." David Bache, CEO of Age UK Peterborough, said “we at Age UK Peterborough are truly indebted to Eileen and her team of volunteers who have worked so hard and risked life and limb, to raise such an incredible amount of money. Over the past few years, Safe Local Trades have helped raise over £18,500 - no other local company has ever raised this amount for our charity and we are eternally grateful".
