Manufacturer Pyroguard has raised over £4,000 for mental health charity, Men’s Minds Matter, after a team of employees completed a sunrise ascent of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) to shine a light on men’s mental health.
Twenty employees took on the nine-mile overnight hike to the summit of Wales’s highest mountain, as part of a fundraiser organised in memory of colleague Mikey Shoer, Pyroguard’s former technical sales manager for Ireland.
Pyroguard’s COO, Neil Tilsley, said: “I couldn’t be prouder of the team’s effort and unity. Reaching the summit at sunrise was a powerful moment and a true reflection of our team spirit. Mikey was a valued colleague and friend, and we’re honoured to support Men’s Minds Matter in his memory while raising awareness of men’s mental health.”
Men’s Minds Matter is a UK-based suicide prevention charity dedicated to saving lives through psychological support, education and early intervention. The organisation works to support individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts, while also equipping families, friends and professionals with the tools to provide effective help.
