Story
<p>We at the fun loving <span style="color: #ff0000;">Claims Service One</span> at <span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Admiral</strong> </span>are organising a series of events over the coming 12 months, to raise money for our designated charity - <span style="color: #0000ff;">Christian Lewis Trust</span>. <br /><br /><strong><span style="color: #ff1493;">PLEASE READ BELOW FOR DETAILS ON THE NEXT EVENT - HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE.</span></strong></p>
<p>We are holding small monthly fund raising days within our workplace and a few major events such as sponsored walks, and other events which will be updated in due course. We will be updating our page with numerous photos and a video showing our progress throughout the year.</p>
<p>We chose to support The Christian Lewis Trust as it is a local children's charity which looks to help fund terminally ill children live their dream holidays. We believe strongly in its values and hope to raise as much as we can to go towards making these dreams a reality.</p>

<p>In April 2010 - We held a home made cake sale in the canteen. We also created a guess the Bunny's name game. We raised around £400 doing this!_________________________________________________</p>
<p>In May 2010 - We asked members of Service One to give any unwanted and unused items into us and thus we created the Service One Hamper - We again made a few hundred pounds doing this.<br />_________________________________________________<br /><span style="color: #000000;">In June - We raffled several different items off - Nando's meal, Flavoured Vodka etc.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">__________________________________________________</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">In July 2010 - We raffled off two tickets for Pink. </span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">On Saturday the <em><span style="color: #ff0000;">7th August 2010</span></em>, the 10 of us took part in a sponsored relay walk from our office in Cardiff (Capital Tower), to the office in Swansea (Admiral Group House). This walk was just over <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">40 miles</span></strong>. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">First Group: <span style="color: #ff1493;">Louise Darnell</span>, <span style="color: #9acd32;">Dom Browne</span>, <span style="color: #ff1493;">Josie StJohn</span>, <span style="color: #9acd32;">Scott Miller</span>, <span style="color: #ff1493;">Natalie Davies</span> and <span style="color: #ff1493;">Jenna O'Sullivan</span>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Second Group: <span style="color: #9acd32;">Paul Collins</span>, <span style="color: #ff1493;">Caroline Polley</span>, <span style="color: #9acd32;">Mark Goodyear</span> and <span style="color: #9acd32;">Kain Roberts</span>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The First Group left at 6.30am from Capital Tower. It was a dark, cold and wet morning for them. However, they kept it together and morale was high. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Many hours later, after getting lost on Cowbridge Road they arrived in Bridgend. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The Second Group left Bridgend Train Station at 11.00am, heading for home, Admiral Group House. It was sunny, with some showers, and walked on an endless track through farmland. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Shortly after 7.00pm they arrived on solid ground. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">With as many blisters as we all had, and the aches and pains that set in on the Sunday, overall it was a great achievement for all knowing the effort we had put in to raise money for The Christian Lewis Trust.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">_________________________________________________</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">In September 2010 - We again had a very successful cake sale, also having a local bakery donate some of their finest cakes and tarts. Thanks to all those who donated their cooking expertise and those who bought the cakes to assist in our £10,000 target. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">______________________________________________________</span></p>
<p>In October 2010 - We held a Halloween Trick or treat Bag. We sold them for £1 per bag, some had some tasty treats, which didn't just include sweets, but an opportunity to win a day off, half day holiday and flexi time etc.</p>

<p>In November and December 2010 - We sold out Top 10 Department Service One DVD of Grease. It had the official video as well as several outtakes. Again where we had raised more funds!</p>
