Rapid Welding Announce Wessex Heartbeat as their Charity of the Year
Wessex Heartbeat has been chosen by Rapid Welding as its charity of the year. The charity provides support and care to patients being treated at the Wessex Cardiac Centre in Southampton.
Speaking of the charity choice, Marianne Edwards, Business Manager at Rapid said, "Cardiac care is of great importance to some of the Rapid Welding team and their families. This year we wanted to support a cardiac charity local to our business, therefore Wessex Heartbeat felt like the right choice."
We are encouraging the Rapid team to become involved in raising as much money as they can and we already have some ideas planned for this year to do just that!
This year our challenge will see 20 members of the team try to raise £20 for the charity - it will be interesting to see what ideas for fundraising they come up with!
Other fundraising plans include a raffle at Rapid's 30th birthday celebration BBQ in June, in addition to Marianne taking on the 'Action Challenge Isle of Wight Ultra' in May - a 106k ultra marathon.
You can find more information on Wessex Heartbeat and the fantastic work they do on their website here.
We look forward to the challenges that fundraising will bring to the team and updating you on our progress throughout the year.
