Russell Roof Tiles has arranged its first ever charity firewalk to help raise money for local communities.
The firewalk organised by Andy Iliff, assistant works manager at Russell Roof Tiles, will take place on 20 August at Nicholson Way.
Around 25 members of the Russell Roof Tiles team have already volunteered to take part in the firewalk and brave the hot coals in aid of raising at least £100 per person.
This comes as part of the company’s ‘Give 4 Good’ campaign, which involves the manufacturer donating to good causes in the local area in celebration of 10 years of its independence.
Russell Roof Tiles has a series of events to raise its £50,000 target including a Big Quiz, Golf Day, Bake-Off, Paddle Challenge and Football Match. Recipients of the fundraising initiative include local causes such as Hillfield Animal Home, YMCA, Burton & District Mind – all of which have been nominated by the staff.
Andrew Hayward, managing director at Russell Roof Tiles, said: “Our staff always get involved in lots of different events and are great sports. We have already held eight company led activities, as well as a team match-funding programme. I am very proud to have such a hard-working and charitable team and am very much looking forward to the firewalk event.”
