A GLAZEBROOK resident has raised £10,000 for terminally ill, disabled and disadvantaged children after taking on the Three Peaks Challenge alongside his workmates.

Chris Healing climbed Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in 23 hours alongside five colleagues at fit out and refurbishment business Overbury to raise the money for the Children’s Adventure Farm Trust.

The technical services manager is now planning an open air swim in Salford Quays and will take on the Salford Quays Triathlon and the Bassenthwaite Triathlon to raise another £1,500 for the charity.

He said: “I wanted to support the Children’s Adventure Farm Trust as a local Cheshire charity that helps so many young people who would not otherwise be given these kinds of opportunities.

“The work that it does is so inspiring and I am proud that we’ve been able to raise such a significant amount.”

Employees at the company have raised £16,000 in total for charity, with workers taking on skydives and other physical challenges for charities including the Downs Syndrome Association and Reuben’s Retreat.

Overbury’s managing director Peter Knight said: “We give our team a day each year to take on a charity initiative – this year everyone has been really proactive in identifying causes that have a positive impact on the areas surrounding our projects.

“Physical challenges like swimming, mountain climbing and skydiving are impressive but so are the smaller initiatives.

“As a construction business we are fortunate that our people have practical and managerial skills to offer the local community and I am extremely proud of the way our team has support so many good causes.”
