HARROGATE MD ON EPIC CHARITY WALK TO HIGHLIGHT MENTAL WELLBEING
Chris Brown, MD of Ethos Asset Finance is walking 25 miles a day until Christmas Eve to raise funds for a Harrogate charity.

According to the Harrogate Advertiser, his current epic charity walk which is the equivalent of walking from Land’s End to John O’Groats - is the first time he has done this sort of thing, though he raised funds in the past, including a CEO
ALPHA AIMS TO HELP THOSE IN NEED IN SHEFFIELD
Sheffield based All Licensed Private Hire & Hackney Associa- tion - ALPHA - is- thinking of those in
their community who are struggling during this challenging time. Lee Ward, Chairman of ALPHA told PHTM that as all licensed drivers in Sheffield have been awarded a £500 grant, he has asked each of them to do- nate a tenner which ALPHA will then share among the food banks at this cru- cial time of the year. He said: “The drivers will not be paid the grant for another ten days or so but have already donated £270 in less than 24 hours. If every driver in Sheffield donates a tenner, we will have around £30,000 to divide be- tween the food banks and hand deliver a cheque to them on behalf of the taxi trade.

sleepout two years ago for the Harro- gate Homeless Project. Already in his new mission, there have been a lot of aches and pains but it is all worth it to raise money for Wellspring, a mental health support charity. And it’s not all about fundraising. Chris is also encouraging people to pick up
the phone and give someone they may be worried about a five-minute call. Chris said: “You don’t know what they are going through - that call could mean a lot more than it appears.” Wellspring is a charity close to Chris’s heart as he knows numerous people who have suffered with mental health. Furthermore, he is doing this for all those who have been/still are going through hardship with the pandemic. Chris said: “Wellspring is a fantastic local charity which works hard to help those suffering. No matter what the cir- cumstances, they are there to help. They work with the homeless, children and anyone who needs them.” PHTM: Well done Chris on your fantas- tic achievement.
CORBY ASSOCIATION MEMBERS GIVE BACK TO THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITY
Corby Hackney Owners Association (C.H.O.A.) members have been volun- tarily donating their time to help out the local community by delivering those in need with lunches. The lunches have been made up by the staff at the Autumn Centre on Counts Farm Road, Corby and have been backed by Corby Borough Council. Local Councillor John McGhee and Simon Rielly Labour Party North Uni- tary Candidate have been sorting deliveries into runs for the taxi owners, who have vastly more experience of local streets, to deliver them to needy families. Cllr John McGhee said: “The volunteer taxi drivers have been fantastic and made a potential logistics nightmare into a great experience for all at the Autumn centre and our families. Thank you all so much.” C.H.O.A. Committee Member Robert McArther is also collecting money in his cab by generously donating all tips
received from members of the public into a fund to go to the Autumn Centre to help those struggling in the run up to Christmas. James Lafferty, Chairman of C.H.O.A., said: “The response from the drivers has been phenomenal but to be honest it doesn’t surprise me as this town has always got behind worthy causes. “The generosity of those involved makes me proud to be Chairman of this Association”. A fund raising page will be set up shortly for any members of the public wanting to donate to this worthy cause.
