Along with many other companies Claremont are raising money as part of the Halliwells Corporate Challenge - a fund raising initiative for 100 North West companies to raise money for Claire House, the childrens hospice on the Wirral At the moment Claire House cares for 240 children with life threatening/ life limiting conditions and none are generally expected to live into normal adulthood. The hospice receives no statutory funding whatsoever.
Claremont have delivered a large teddy, 'Monty' to Claire House, using as many different methods of transport as possible. Monty started his journey in Warrington, has flown to our Fareham office and has been taken to Bristol by motorbike and sports car. Monty spent a weekend with the Army on manoveures followed by a boat tour of Bristol. Monty then returned to Warrington from Bristol by bicycle, over the course of 2 days by a member of of our Bristol design team.
On April 22nd, the 'Claremont cubs' a group of runners and walkers delivered Monty to Claire House, running from Warrington to Liverpool and walking the remainder of the way. During the course of his journey Monty has covered 1538 miles and was greeted at Claire House by a full size Teddy!.
