The money raised will enable the charity to provide a range of essential and special needs equipment, planned activities, and a range of life enhancing experiences and it desperately needs funds from events and donations to continue, as it is a not-for-profit organisation.

Company director Paul Evans said: “I was deeply touched when I attended a business get together and I heard all about Blessing in Disguise and what they do. They are a local charity and need our support.”

Katie Holt, trustee director for Blessing in Disguise, said: “We are very grateful for the support of Paul and the staff at PE Pipeline Specialists, as well as all the other businesses and individuals who have supported us.

“We create a positive focus on enabling freedom to enjoy treasured memories to share with family and loved ones and provide a range of life enhancing experiences helping to improve the quality of life for children and young people with disabilities or life-limiting illnesses.

"The monies raised by PE Pipeline Specialises will be spent on disability equipment and activities.”
