The Harewelle Group Supports Cheshire Homes in Zambia

The Harewelle Group, through its local company PMTC (Zambia) has recently supported the Lusaka Hash House Harriers in its fund raising efforts for Cheshire Homes in Zambia.  Cheshire Homes is a charity which provides residential care, rehabilitation, community outreach and vocational training programmes to help disabled children live a life with dignity. 

This year’s Wheel Chair Run, which was held on 11th October, raised a record total of almost 17,000 US Dollars for Cheshire Homes with Harewelle International and PMTC (Zambia) once again co-sponsoring T-shirts for this year’s event. As well as raising funds for the operational costs of the charity the event provides a fun day out and a party for children from the various homes based in and around Lusaka.

John Woolner, Harewelle Chairman, organised the inaugural Wheel Chair Run in 1996 when he was based in Zambia.  This has continued every year with various Harewelle members; Mike Woolford, Matt Morley and recently Duncan Rhind, PMTC (Zambia) Managing Director; taking an active role in organising and supporting this very successful event.
