  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.
