Wrexham-based video company goes extra mile for local charity

Wrexham-based video production company, Knew Productions, has raised over £1500 for local charity, Nightingale House.

This donation follows its director, Richard Knew fundraising by completing the Chester Half Marathon recently.

It is the latest in a long history of collaboration with the charity, including undertaking the ‘Three Peaks in 24-hours’ challenge in 2013 and working with the charity to produce videos showcasing its role.

Nightingale House Hospice provides specialist palliative care services for those with life-limiting illnesses.

Its services are completely free of charge to patients and their families across its catchment area stretching from Wrexham, Flintshire and East Denbighshire to Barmouth and the border towns including Oswestry and Whitchurch.

Richard Knew, managing director of Knew Productions explained why he chose to run a half marathon for Nightingale House: “I’ve run a couple of half marathons before, but not for a few years, so just wanted to give it another go.

“I chose Nightingale House, as having worked with the charity in the past to produce videos for them, I have witnessed first-hand the quality of the service the team provides for patients and their families.

“I completed the run in 2 hours 20 minutes, and although I initially set my fundraising target at £1000, through the generosity of family, friends, clients and the business community, I ultimately raised £1500 for the charity.”

Lauren Emberton, Deputy CEO of Nightingale House Hospice said: “We are so grateful for Richard’s fundraising efforts to raise much needed funds for patient care at Nightingale House Hospice. We look forward to working with Knew Productions in the future and really appreciate everything they do to support us.”

Knew Productions is a national award-winning video production company, which has been delivering a range of quality video content and promotional films to companies and organisations in North East Wales and across the UK for over 25 years.
