Carpet Manufacturer Raises Over £1,000 For Kirkwood Hospice

Staff at carpet manufacturer Heckmondwike FB in Liversedge are celebrating raising £1,185 for Kirkwood Hospice in Huddersfield after completing a sponsored walk.

The walk involved employees, family and friends from Heckmondwike FB and a team from The Spiced Mango Indian restaurant in Middlestown. They walked for 4.5 miles in a round trip that took in Coxley Woods and was completed in up to two and a half hours.

Sharni Verity, Marketing Manager at Heckmondwike FB, said: “Our staff enjoyed taking part in the walk and everyone worked hard to raise money for what is a fantastic cause.  We are pleased to be supporting Kirkwood Hospice and all their wonderful work in the local community.”
