Congratulations to everyone involved in the Bellrock and Metcor Environmental Charity Challenge for raising over £15,000 for homeless charity Centrepoint. The teams recently completed the third and final event of the challenge, a charity treasure hunt in Bristol. The 2024 charity challenge, which started in July, has also included a sponsored ‘sleep out’ and an Olympics inspired sports day. The initiative initially aimed to raise over £10,000 for Centrepoint, a leading charity dedicated to helping homeless youth, and it took place across a variety of L&G properties. The challenge has been led by Bellrock’s Workplace Services team for the Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM) account, who have been working in partnership with Metcor Environmental, across the L&G estate, since 2020. Bellrock are L&G’s partner for FM Integration across their entire portfolio, whilst Metcor are a longstanding partner of L&G delivering specialist commercial drainage services. Jessica Smith, Service Delivery Manager for Bellrock, who was instrumental in organising the challenge said: "A huge and heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in the project, without their support and hard work this event would not have been possible. I am very proud to have been part of such an incredible, collaborative team. The money raised will make a huge difference to the lives of young people".
