PACE News  

  PACE, the Provelio staff Annual Charity Event has been established to raise money for a different disability-related cause each year through a physically challenging event, which in turn helps promote staff fitness and well-being.


The 2005 inaugural event saw the PACE team successfully complete the 3 Peaks Challenge and raise £5,000 to provide an Accessible Classroom for disadvantaged learners in Bristol through the City of Bristol College.

The 2006 Event
An 11-strong team successfully completed the Dartmoor 10 Tor Challenge in July and have raised £5,000 for the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association “Sponsor a Puppy Appeal.” The challenge involved hiking a 55 mile circuit, taking in 10 of the Dartmoor Tors over 2 days.

The 2007 Event - The Across Wales Walk

The PACE team of 13 walkers successfully completed the gruelling Across Wales Walk over-night between the 8-9 June, covering almost 50 miles in 23 hours, starting out from Anchor Bridge near Clun on the Shropshire/Wales border, and ending at Clarach Bay, north of Aberystwyth. Well done to everyone who was involved.

We are delighted to report that we exceeded our original fundraising target of £5,000 for the Newbury and District Cancer Care Trust. We raised a grand total of £9,275. Thank you to everyone who sponsored the team.

A cheque was presented to the Trust on Thursday 4 October 2007. (Below is a copy of the article that appeared in the Newbury Today Newspaper on Thursday 11 October 2007).
