Thank you so much to the amazing staff at Hale & Co. (Drybrook) Ltd who have been fundraising again for their local Hospice

H who was unable to come along to our Swimathon on the day, did her own and raised an incredible £195 💚

Their breakfast morning where they cooked up some awesome breakfast rolls raised £212.60 💚

And in memory of Andy Ward (one of Hale’s staff family) who loved his football, they remembered him by donating £1 for every goal the team they supported scored.

With the money raised they bought Andy’s wife a fantastic bunch of flowers, the remaining £75 was donated 💚

Hales is more than a builders merchants, they are located in Drybrook, and open….
