Plevin raise over £2200 for North West Air Ambulance

5 August 2015

We have raised over £2, 200 for the North West Air Ambulance Charity. The fundraising, which included taking part in the Great Manchester 10k run and dress down days, has enabled us to support the worthy cause.

Our chosen charity of the year, the North West Air Ambulance Charity provides an essential service which receives no Government funding and relies on donations alone. For over 15 years the charity has been providing rapid treatment to patients across the region through its fleet of three helicopters, 365 days a year.

Andrew Clugston, Transport Manager, Plevin, added, “We are proud to be fundraising for the North West Air Ambulance. Thank you to all of our employees, customers and suppliers that have sponsored us. It is thanks to these contributions that we have helped towards keeping the helicopters in the air”.

Linda de Sá, Challenge Events Officer at the North West Air Ambulance Charity, said: “We’d like to thank Plevin for choosing us as their nomination charity this year. Just as many critically injured patients would not survive without the service that we provide, our charity would not be here without the generosity of the North West community.  This donation will help raise the funds it costs to keep our three helicopters operational and save lives.

'Plevin Supremes' take silver in charity Dragon Boat race

21 July 2015

A massive congratulations to our Elkesley based rowers, the Plevin Supremes, who took second place in the Phase Worldwide charity dragon boat race over the weekend at Manvers Lake near Rotherham. The event was being held in aid of the charities Phase Worldwide and The Manvers Lake Trust.

Having had no practice prior to the race, the Plevin Supremes found themselves up against 9 other teams with the task of racing custom built 30ft brightly painted Chinese dragon boats along a 200m course.  Windy conditions meant that the waters on the lake were choppy and at times proved hazardous -two boats capsized during the races and one of the boats was left without a dragons head!

Undeterred, the team took to the oars and got off to a fantastic start, winning their first race and bringing in some fast times in their next two races. The Plevin Supremes went into the semi-finals with the 3rd fastest overall time and powered through to take a comfortable win in the semi-final.

With medals in sight and a place on the podium, Plevin Supremes boarded their boat for a final time with true grit and determination. Battling it out with the opposing team, Plevin Supremes took the lead initially, then were neck and neck to the finish line but had the hands of victory snatched from them by a mere 0.4 seconds to take the silver medals.

Well done to the team who raised over £1000 for the charities and a huge thank you to those that came down on the day to support the teams, it was greatly appreciated.
