STAFF and members of an Emersons Green health club have raised more than £4,000 for a charity that helps adults with physical disabilities.
Each department at David Lloyd Emersons Green took turns in raising as much money as possible over the course of a week, with activities including home-made cake sales, car washes, a sponsored swim, raffles and a half-marathon run, for the charity which runs a day centre supporting up to 30 disabled adults a day in Coalpit Heath.
Paul’s Place spokesperson David Sully said: “Physical disabilities are very close to the hearts and minds of some staff and club members at David Lloyd. Their disabled friends or family members need the lifeline of support and services that Paul’s Place offers.”
Club manager Rhys Brown said: “It has been incredible to watch the fundraising efforts of my team and engagement of our members. It feels like we are making a real difference to such a great cause.”
