firmus energy go that extra mile for charity
firmus energy employees recently ‘legged it’ in the Belfast marathon for the
company’s nominated charity, FACE Inclusion Matters. The natural gas company
colleagues Kevin McSherry, Roisin Allen, Oonagh Malone and Lawrence Hanna each
completed a section of the gruelling 26 mile race.
Kevin McSherry, engineering manager for firmus energy explains, “As part
of firmus energy’s business ethic to ensure we continue to make a positive
contribution to the community, we were delighted with this opportunity to take
part in the Belfast Marathon, raising £500 for FACE inclusion matters.
“Although challenging, the team had worked very hard in the ‘run-up’ to
the event and it really paid off. Not only was it a great team bonding
exercise but we hope that the funds raised will make a significant difference
to the young people FACE works with.’
Rainer Pagal, director of Belfast-based FACE inclusion matters comments,
“Since firmus energy was established back in 2006, the company has had an
ongoing relationship with the charity and has provided us with invaluable
support through donations, advice and help in kind which has had a significant
contribution to our progress and development.
“Face works right across Northern Ireland and aims to heighten
understanding and achieve inclusion of young people with and without
disabilities in our community and encourage them to make more of life
together.
“On behalf of the charity, I would like to extend my gratitude to firmus
energy and the staff members taking part. This fund-raising activity is a
further example of how firmus energy is willing to ‘go that extra mile’ –
literally in this case - to help out a worthy cause.”
