“Broughton’s donation will support our continual work in funding and providing much-needed specialised equipment to local children and adults coping with disabilities or mobility issues.  We’re delighted that the Broughton Ball Committee chose Pidley Mountain Rescue Team as their nominated charity and thank-you to all those who attended the Ball and gave so generously,” said Mr Peacock.

Cranbrook Plants of Somersham held their Begonia Bash and kindly invited the PMRT team along to do some publicity and fundraising. Gil Boyd - PMRT former Chairman, was there to entertain everybody with his singing and the fun evening included a surprise showing from Pidley Ted who helped to raise £66.58. We also recruited one new 'life long member' of the charity. Many thanks to all involved.

The Pidley Mountain Rescue Team (PMRT) brand has been revitalised and brought up to date with a new logo created by St Ives-based design consultant Martin Phillips, of Martin Phillips Associates, who generously contributed his time free of charge. 

Martin explains that he thought it was important to keep the history of the charity and the original humour behind the name by using the two mountains in his design.  “The work of the charity in enabling and improving independence is represented by the free-flowing sweep of the mountains. The two circles evolved from the traditional wheelchair disability sign.  They represent how the charity provides specialised equipment for adults and children while not limiting it just to traditional mobility equipment such as a wheelchair.”

 “BRJ’s generous donation will have a fantastic impact on our work in providing local disabled children and adults with much-needed specialised equipment to encourage their independence and mobility.  Thank-you to all those club runners for their incredible efforts throughout the year,” says Pidley Mountain Rescue’s chairman Trevor Peacock.

“We chose to support Pidley Mountain Rescue Team in 2009 because of their great work within the local community,” says BRJ’s fund-raising coordinator Maureen Wickson.
