Local Businesses Help Fund Wrexham Scouts’ London Trip

1st Esclusham Scouts based in Rhostyllen are soon embarking on the trip of a lifetime to London thanks to three local businesses, Tesco, Birch Dane and Utilities Connections Management.

The trip has been six months in the planning with the girls and boys having their say in what they do when down in the capital.

As part of the fundraising for the trip, the Scouts did a four hour bag pack at Tesco in Wrexham, which saw generous customers donate £511.

Of those customers, Bridget Glendinning, Managing Director of Birch Dane Business services based in Llay was so impressed that she agreed to extend her donation to help cover the planned activities.

During their weekend trip the group will see popular London sights such as Big Ben and the London Eye.

Speaking about the trip, Hannah Hughes said” “I’m most excited about being able to learn new facts in the Science Museum.”

Bethan Houghton added: “I’m keen on spending time with my friends in a new environment.”

The group would also like to extend a big thank you to Utilities Connections Management Limited who has kindly helped support the Scouts’ trip.

Scout leader Pete Jones said: “Without these kind donations, this trip would not have gone ahead. We are still trying to raise funds for us to participate in more activities whilst in London.”
