Aico, a specialist in home life safety, has announced it will be taking on the Snowdon Sunrise Trek Challenge in support of a charity local to the company called The Movement Centre.
Taking place on 28 June 2023, over 50 employees of Aico and HomeLINK will leave the company headquarters in Oswestry in Shropshire, UK, and travel through the night to being their ascent up the mountain at 2am. The team should reach the summit of Snowdon, the largest mountain in Wales, just in time for the sun to rise.
The challenge is in aid of raising money for a local charity to the company, The Movement Centre, which is a specialist treatment centre helping children who have Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome or other diagnosis to achieve new skills through increased strength and control of their movement. They do this through the use of Targeted Training, a specialist therapy that is currently only provided by The Movement Centre within the UK.
Aico have a long-standing relationship with the charity, showing continued support through fundraising activities and donations, organised as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility programme, Aico in the Community.
“At The Movement Centre, we are always trying to create new fundraising initiatives, and our latest is the Snowdon Sunrise Trek Challenge,” said Curtis Langley, The Movement Centre’s fundraising and marketing officer. “Having met with the team at Sky Blue Adventures, I knew this was going to be our next new event, and it is all set to launch in 2023. After reaching out to a few corporate partners and individual fundraisers, I was amazed with the positive response, and really pleased to have the support of Aico, with over 50 signing up.
“The response has been that great, not only from Aico, but from other local businesses too, we may have to put two events on in 2023 to keep up with demand, which will raise vital funds for The Movement Centre and the families who attend. Snowdon can be a difficult walk to complete at the best of times but to complete it at night brings new challenges. A huge thank you to all Aico and HomeLINK colleagues for stepping up to the Snowdon Sunrise Trek. Bring on June 2023!”
