Callcredit staff take fundraising in their stride

Employees' charity challenge raises more than £3,700 for British Heart Foundation

223977_192655637461201_167016606691771_557125_519812_n34 employees from Callcredit Information Group   took on the British Heart Foundation's (BHF) gruelling Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge and raised a fantastic £3,760 for the charity.

The team, who are based at Leeds, scaled the county's toughest peaks last month, climbing Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough.

The British Heart Foundation is Callcredit's charity of the year and the team had set a fundraising challenge of £3,000 for the event to support the vital work of the nation's heart charity, beating their target by more than £700.

David Swift, Group Marketing Director for Callcredit and challenge participant said: "We are delighted to have raised so much money for our chosen charity, the British Heart Foundation. It was a tough challenge but generating more than £3,700 for such a worthwhile cause really made the sore muscles worth it."
