LATEST NEWS

Our 20th anniversary year is going well and charities are benefiting from our celebrations!

SWG Group wanted our anniversary year to not only be special for us, but also for good causes local to us, and our amazing staff and subcontractors are pulling out all the stops! You may remember, we committed to taking part in a different challenges in order to raise money for charity as we celebrate throughout 2022. You can read more about our commitment and our 20 years in business in our blog  here.  

 

SWEAT AND MUD SO FAR

Our challenges have included sweat and mud!

Different members of the SWG Group team have tackled each, but we’ve had so much fun in the meantime and it’s been a huge achievement.

Four team members successfully completed the Welshpool 10k almost £600 in the process for the  Ponthafren Association, a mental health charity in Mid Wales.

And we’re still collecting,  you can donate here.

 

 


The Shropshire Mud Run was a dirty affair – but only up to the armpits! You can see from the pictures that the group of six SWG Group workers didn’t fancy a muddy face or shoulders but tackled the course as elegantly as they could!

They collected almost £200 for the  Welsh Air Ambulance, based at Welshpool Airport – and again, you can still donate here.


 

SWG Group’s financial controller Sophie Shorey saddled up for a 24 hour Spinathon in April in aid of  The Derwen Charity, which supports the work of  Derwen College  near Oswestry. She raised an incredible £495 in sponsorship – and you can still donate here.

 


DONATIONS

As well as challenges, we’ve looked to donate to local causes too.

We handed over donations to the exciting and enjoyable  1940s Welshpool WeekendMonty Literary Festival  and Treowen Jubilee Celebrations, helping to bring communities together.

We also gave  The Radnorshire Wildlife Trust  £1,750  to help repair and replace the fencing at  Pentwyn Farm.

You can find out more about this donation, what it’s for and the incredible work of the trust in our blog  here.
