The events are over, the cash is being counted – and now a winner will be unveiled.

Trinity’s first ever Corporate Challenge has come to an end, with Fylde Coast companies large and small – not forgetting our very own Brian House team – competing to be named champion after 12 weeks of hectic fundraising.

A massive thank you to everyone who took part and pledged to take their £50 starter fund and turn it into much more.

There was some very inventive fundraising and a fair bit of secrecy as teams did their event planning. There were dress down days, cake sales, bike rides, motorcycle and car rallies, dinner dances, raffles, treasure hunts and auctions.

Representatives from each team will attend a lunch at The Villa, Wrea Green on November 15, when the winners will be announced and the amazing efforts of all participants celebrated.

Natalie Bromley, Trinity’s Corporate Fundraiser said: “It seems like just a few days since Hospuss went out delivering the £50 starter funds; now here we are in November with some very inspiring fundraising behind us.

“Generous sponsorship of the Corporate Challenge means it has been staged at no cost to Trinity. The teams have all been amazing and I hope the lunch will be a great way of saying thank you.”
