Archant Herts and Cambs editor Terry Mitchinson has been crowned the company’s charity fundraiser of the year.
Terry has been actively involved with continued fundraising and raised over £1,300 for Herts Air Ambulance and local Rotary Club from just two 14-mile sponsored walks.
He had his cash doubled under the Archant Gold scheme which rewards employees for taking part in fundraising events and matches collections up to £3,000.
Terry is one of several staff who have totted up the hours in the name of charity, contributing to a grand total of £22,000.
Some of those also raising money are:
Newham Recorder editor Colin Grainger raised £154 by swimming 50 lengths for East London charity Community Links.
Archant Specialist writers Harriet Paige, Philippa Howard, Louise Robinson and Jacqueline Feeney completed the Race for Life in Battersea Park, raising £900 for Cancer Research UK.
Archant Dialogue managing art editor Nicky Wright also completed a Race for Life, this time in Ipswich, and raised £100.
Harriet Paige, this time going solo, sacrificed a night’s sleep to collect £1,641 for Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres. She raised the money with a moonlit walk following the Circle Line tube route in London and enjoyed a 3am flight on the London Eye.
