Telecoms firm TWL Voice and Data has successfully completed the National Three Peaks Challenge which saw them raise more than £4,000 for Newport-based St David's Hospice Care.

The team had previously taken on the challenge of the Welsh Three Peaks raising more than £3,200. After this achievement they sought to carry on climbing and raising money for the hospice.

The ten-strong team accomplished the challenge of climbing 3,000 meters and 27 miles by scaling Snowdon in North Wales, Scafell in England and Ben Nevis in Scotland in only 24 hours.

With donations of supplies coming from Barry-based outdoor clothing company Skogstad and Euro Commercials, the climbers were well equipped to take on the challenge.

Business development manager for the Wentloog based business Ian England said: "Not only are we thrilled to have completed this challenge, but to have raised over our target is fantastic. The hard work we all put in has really paid off."

St David's Hospice Care provides palliative care and support for family members in South Wales. It aims to offer patients individual care and supply family members with the advice and help that is needed at such a delicate time.

Adrian Hadley, deputy chief executive of St David’s Hospice Care, said: “We are delighted to have once again been selected as the charity that TWL has nominated to support through their latest team building challenge. We have a long standing relationship with TWL, and the firm has supported many of our different events and campaigns. To have raised this figure is fantastic and we would like to take this opportunity to thank Andrew and the team for their continued support and we look forward to working with them in the future.”
