    P&A Group is thrilled to announce that it has surpassed its 2024 chosen charity fundraising target, presenting a cheque for £18,800 to Mind North East Wales—far exceeding the initial goal of £10,000 to be raised by the three division; P&A Pallets, The Woodworks Garden Centre and Zest Outdoor Living Garden Products.

    Andrew Baker, Managing Director of P&A Group, commented:

    “This was one of the most special moments of our company’s Christmas celebration. We couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved together as a team.”

    Adding to the festive generosity, P&A Group also donated £2,000 to Shelter Cymru. This sum was raised after employees collectively decided to forgo their usual Christmas gifts and instead contribute to the vital cause of supporting those in need through Shelter Cymru.

    An Inspiring Year of Fundraising

    The impressive figure of £18,800 for Mind North East Wales was raised through a variety of challenges and community events organised by employees from every division of P&A Group. Highlights included: Employees participating in the Manchester Marathon, with some running a marathon for the first time. A thrilling 150-foot abseil down Liverpool Cathedral for 12 brave members of the company.  Participation in major events such as Iron Man Wales and the Chester 10K and fun-filled company activities such as quiz nights, cake bakes, raffles, and a 24-hour relay walk.

    Andrew Baker added:

    “Every member of our team, alongside our families, friends, and customers, played a crucial role in helping us achieve this success. A huge thank you to our fundraising team leaders for their dedication and to everyone who took on personal challenges to support this important charity.”

    Raising awareness of mental health is just as important to us as the funds we’ve raised. Giving back to our community is a cornerstone of what we do, and we’re honoured to support Mind North East Wales in their essential work.”
