Initial efforts included a team from Fleet Operations completing the North Wales Three Peaks Challenge to support Shooting Star Cancer Support, raising over £1,500. Additionally, staff from Lovett Care performed a skydive to benefit Destination Florida, raising more than £8,500.

Subsequent community activities include a 10km Sue Ryder Starlight Hike in Worth Valley to support hospice services, and a planned climb of Snowdon by the ‘Walking Mums’ group to raise funds for the Alice Hiley Memorial Trust, which provides equipment for neonatal units.
