We run the 10km race annually and we're hoping to beat last year's personal best. Sponsor us now![/b][/p][p]We are raising money for a local charity, [url=http://www.seashelltrust.org.uk/]Seashell Trust[/url]. We really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.[/p][p]Based in Cheadle Hulme, Seashell Trust provides support to children and young adults with complex and severe learning disabilities. One of Seashell Trust’s important values is that communication underpins everything it does – a phrase that we often use at BDB, too. Which is why our fundraising efforts this year will focus on helping Seashell Trust to build its assistive technology resources. This equipment is essential to teaching the students independence and encouraging them to interact with others. In the past, a 3D printer and sensory equipment have proved effective in furthering the students’ abilities. [/p][p]We’ve set ourselves an ambitious plan – we aim to raise over £3,000, through a range of charitable initiatives. The BDB team has taken part in the following, since the beginning of 2017:[/p][p]Swimathon: we kicked off 2017 with a great effort from our resident swimmers![/p][p]Great Manchester Run took place on 28 May 2017, where an eight-strong team took on the Business Challenge.
