Severfield provides steelwork and funding for Portland College
Severfield has been instrumental in making this facility a reality for Portland College.
CharityLast month one of our Design Engineers, Gary Sherrard - along with his friend Scott - raised vital funds and awareness for Motor Neurone Disease Association, Parkinson’s UK and Marie Curie UK and the IRFU Charitable Trust . Over 7 days they both walked a total of 205 miles in the rain, sun, wind and traffic for these great charities.
They raised an amazing £24,921.88 and their target was £4000. The Severfield Foundation were happy to support Gary and donated £500 to help reach their target.
“We started at 6:30 a.m. on Sunday 4th July at Omagh RFC not really knowing what was ahead of us despite all of our training over the last few months.” - Gary Sherrard
Each evening they finished at a rugby club, having walked at least 26 miles:
“Without a doubt the toughest day was Tuesday as the heat and enormity of our task started to drain us but with the help of some support walkers from Wednesday onwards we made it home. On Saturday 10th July just after 6pm we took the final steps of our challenge as we walked into Omagh RFC to an emotional but brilliant reception.” - Gary Sherrard
