Summer Charity and Community Events
It’s been a busy summer raising funds for charities and supporting our local communities.
Sponsorship and Fund Raising for YMCA East Surrey
Our Chairman, Mike Connick, recently took on the epic 210-mile Let’s Go Le Mans charity cycle challenge in support of YMCA East Surrey.
Mike joined fellow riders on a two-day route from Redhill, Surrey through the scenic countryside of Brittany and Normandy, finishing in the historic city of Le Mans, home of the legendary endurance race.
Mike was back on his bike for another challenge just a few weeks later. This time 221-miles cycled over 8 iconic Tour de France mountains ascending 29,174 ft (8,892m) over three days, which is more than the height of Mount Everest!
Both rides were sponsored by Connick Tree Care and raised funds for YMCA East Surrey’s vital work helping vulnerable people in our local communities to belong, contribute and thrive.
Who Dares Cares
Dan Pennington, Managing Director, and Stuart Wells, Regional Manager for Surrey, took on the challenge of walking 50 miles non-stop from Amberley to Winchester along the South Downs Way, in memory of former soldier Tom Heaney.
The walk raised vital funds for Who Dares Cares, a PTSD charity close to Tom’s heart.
Sussex Tree Festival
Unique Elms Walk and Talk with Alisatair Peters
Connick Tree Care was proud to sponsor the CPRE Sussex Tree Festival. In addition Alistair Peters, our expert Arboricultural Consultant, led a captivating ‘Unique Elms’ walk through Brighton’s historic Pavilion Gardens, Old Steine and The Level.
Alistair shared specialist insights into the city’s rare and globally significant elms that deserve greater celebration and protection.
Whitebushes Pond, Community Project
We’re always happy to support community projects. In the case of Whitebushes Pond we were pleased to deliver woodchip to create pathways for local residents to walk and enjoy the green spaces on their doorstep.
