Paul Winder, our very own "lycra clad loony", completed the Pan Celtic Race 2023 on 11 July, after cycling more than 2,000 km across six Celtic nations in just over 9 days. The Pan Celtic Race is a self-supported, ultra-endurance bicycle ride that takes riders through stunning landscapes and rich cultures of Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Cornwall, the Isle of Man and Brittany.

Paul is no stranger to the Pan Celtic Race, having completed it in 2022 when he pedalled more than 1,600 miles and climbed nearly 66,000 feet along the coastal routes of Ireland. He raised over £1,100 for Gordon Moody, the UK’s only charity that provides dedicated support for people with gambling addiction issues.

The Bone Cancer Research Trust is the only charity dedicated to this disease, it is a small but national charity based in Leeds, UK.

Friends of Mufulira was created by The Minor Metals Trade Association to recognise communities who support the worldwide demand of metal. We donated to this Charity in July 2019 to help the organisation aid hospitals, doctors and the local people in Mufulira, Zambia. We were proud to invite Dr Robin Gleek to our offices in 2019 to accept our donation. The charity hopes to build a programme in the near future so that Zambian doctors and nurses can travel safely to the UK to study.
