A GROUP of 13 dedicated staff members from Barnsley College have raised £340 for charity by completing the Langsett Hike.

The 22km-long walk was completed by the groups to raise money for BIADS which supports people living with dementia and their families in Barnsley.

The Barnsley College team members who took part were: Craig Leonard, Sam Rimmer, Thomas Rushforth, Lauren Levitt, Kayleigh Bell, Gillian Spaxman, Liz Beecroft, Craig Gerrard, Jacqueline Selby, Neil Johnson, Paul Spenceley, Rachel Holmes and Karolina Lawrence.

Neil Johnson, the college’s director of high performance, said: “Taking on the Langsett Hike was a tough challenge, but knowing we were doing it for such an important cause made every step worth it.

“BIADS is a charity that’s close to many of us in our college community, and I’m proud to have supported them again after completing the Yorkshire Three Peaks last year.

“The team spirit on the day was incredible - it really showed the strength and compassion of our team.”
