Flying High for Trengrouse
Posted by admin on June 30,2017On 7th September 2017 Mark Halford and a collection of colleagues and family members took to the skies to raise money for Trengrouse.
The skydiving event took part at 9am at Perranporth Airfield and Mark - along with Niamh Halford, Ricky Dent, Bethany Cowls, Daniela Vasile, Maria Timofte and Bradley Southerd raised approximately £1,050 so far which is a tremendous achievement.
Well done!
The money raised will go towards the amenities’ funds for the residents of Trengrouse. This fund pays for activities, events, trips out, music, arts and other therapies – all very much needed and enjoyed by those residents that take part.
