FinTrU employees raise £6,000 for charity partner, PIPS, through Europa Hotel Abseil
FRIDAY 5 JULY 2019
On Friday 5 July, FinTrU employees gathered in FinTrU House to hand over a cheque of £6,000 to their company charity partner, PIPS.
The funds were raised by FinTrU employees who took to new heights and faced many fears by abseiling down all 167ft of the Europa Hotel in Belfast. The initiative was organised by the FinTrU Placement Students who are currently spending the
the year with the company.
Congratulations to all who organised, took part and sponsored the participants.FinTrU is thrilled to raise this amount for such a worthy charity.
