Reaching new heights: Normanton-based platform company raises £8,860 for Andy's Man Club by climbing England's highest peak

Horizon Platforms co-owners, and their partner network colleagues, climbed England's highest peak, Scafell Pike, to raise much needed funds for Horizon Platforms’ chosen charity of the year, Andy’s Man Club.

Employees at the Normanton firm have the opportunity to vote for which charity they’d like to dedicate time to each year.

After a voting process was carried out amongst employees earlier this year, men’s suicide prevention charity, Andy’s Man Club, came out on top.

The charity, which orginated in Halifax in 2016, aims to end the stigma surrounding men’s mental health and help men through the power of conversation.

in response to the fundraiser, the team at Andy’s Man Club came along to the Horizon Platforms HQ to share more insights on what the charity stands for.

Lucy Normanton, Director of People & Internal Communications, said: “Supporting our chosen charity each year is a big part of our culture.

"Just like we work hard to support the health and wellbeing of all of Horizon’s co-owners, we’re passionate about supporting organisations that have people at the heart of what they do.”

The hike raised £8,860, adding to their total raised for the year, which now stands at an outstanding £9,624.

Alongside the hike, Horizon Platforms’ charity initiative has also seen events such as raffles, bake sales, auctions and even a casino themed fundraiser this year.
