Tracy Gordon Director at Mortgage who took part in the trip commented, “ We have supported this charity for a number of years, sponsoring various events and donating much needed funds. This was however a really special day where we were able to meet with those who benefit from the work the charity does. It was great to talk with some really interesting people and share in what was a fun and relaxed afternoon.”
