Money for Shropshire Mental Health charity after colleagues take part in a series of challenges

A year of fundraising events by SJ Roberts Construction and Lowfield Timber Frames led to a cheque for £2,500 being handed over to the charity.

Teams from the sister companies, based in Lowfield, near Welshpool, undertook a series of fundraising events during 2022 that included the Welshpool 10K, Brynkinalt Running Festival, Lake Vyrnwy Half Marathon, Oswestry 10K and a Santa run.

Members of the companies said that, as well as keeping themselves fit and motivated, and helping their own mental health, they were able to raise money for an excellent cause.

The charity said it was extremely grateful for the funding.

Managing Director of SJ Roberts, Mike Sambrook, commented: “Asking your team to commit to events outside of work isn’t always easy, but the teams at SJ Roberts and Lowfield Timber Frames rose to the challenge, limbered up and ran with determination.

“I’m extremely grateful to all who took part in the events and would like to thank everyone who donated to our fundraising page.  This donation wouldn’t have been possible without everyone’s individual commitment and contribution.”

In 2023, the businesses have chosen another charity focused on mental health issues and well-being for all – Ponthafren – and will be kickstarting fundraising efforts with the Welshpool 10K on Sunday 26th March!

Managing directors, Darren Jarman from Lowfield Timber Frames and Mike Sambrook from SJ Roberts Construction, recently presented the money to Ruth Pemberton from Mental Health Support.
