Consulting recently
swapped their suits for
cycling shorts for a
special charity event
that spanned Wales and
inner city London.
The programme and
project management
advisory specialists
raised just over £9K for
Cancer Research UK and
City Gateway with a
two-part event that
comprised a sponsored
‘bike run’ from Wales to
London and a renovation
project for women and
young people in Tower
Hamlets.
Clients, friends and
family sponsored the
team of 20 Moorhouse | |
|
| | staff charged with
running and cycling 360
miles from Milford
Haven, West Wales to
London, in just under 48
hours.
At the same time, a
second team of Moorhouse
colleagues began work
renovating indoor and
outdoor areas at City
Gateway’s Women’s Centre
and Youth Centre in
Tower Hamlets.
Managing director Dom
Moorhouse, who took part
in the bike event, said:
“This weekend has been
hard work, enormous fun
and very rewarding. In
the bike run, a bike was
stolen shortly after
starting and a support | |
| |
| | that had taken place and
congratulate the people
who had worked so hard
to make it happen.
Jerry Daykin,
marketing manager at
City Gateway, said: “The
Moorhouse team added a
brand new music studio
to the Youth Centre, and
completely renovated the
internal office; in
addition, the garden and
outdoor space at the
Women’s Centre has been
totally transformed for
children and parents to
enjoy.
“The young people
particularly enjoyed the
work that took place in
the studio – especially
the vibrant new colours! | |

“It was a real
success to have a mix of
all ages, genders and
groups who use the
centre pop in to see
what was happening. We
can’t thank the
Moorhouse team enough
for their efforts and
look forward to working
with them in the
future.”
People wishing to
sponsor the Moorhouse
teams can still donate

from a ditch, but
nothing could stop the
‘bike runners’ from
achieving their goal. It
was a nail-biting finish
too, with only 15
minutes separating the
winning team from those
in second place, but it
made for a great finale
when we met our
colleagues at the finish
line at City Gateway.”
The team arrived to
find a crowd of 200 to
greet them, including
many of the Centre
users, who had come to
see the renovation work | |
