Achilles sponsor Charity Challenge reception
Achilles is pleased to announce their sponsorship of the 2011 Outward Bound Charity Challenge reception set to take place on 30th November 2011 in the presence of Sir Chris Bonington CVO, CBE. This reception is a unique opportunity to thank everyone who raised money for The Trust through individual and team challenges.
This year marks the sixth year running that Achilles has supported the initiative as part of their patronage of the Outward Bound Trust.
The event is open to teams of four from companies worldwide. They are invited to compete against each other in a series of challenges aimed to strengthen team spirit and encourage teamwork. The challenge, held in June this year took, place over an action packed weekend at Outward Bound Headquarters in the Lake District.
‘Our links with Outward Bound stretch back for many years, from sponsoring and participating in the Charity Challenge to using the Outward Bound Trust to train and develop our own staff. The Outward Bound partnership with Achilles helps us fulfill our corporate social responsibility policy in an innovative and adventurous way’ Said Colin Maund, Achilles Chairman.
The company is also involved in local community projects and this year Achilles 2011 Outward Bound teams have also chosen to support Maggie’s Cancer Care Centre.
