Heatherton World of Activities has made a heartfelt donation to a Pembrokeshire charity - in memory of one of its members of staff, who sadly passed away earlier this year.

One lucky winner of the raffle got to take home such prizes as - a luxury yurt break at Florence Springs Glamping & Camping Village; a thrilling escape room adventure for four at Tenby's Great Escape; a 30-credit group/shared Heatherton pass; and a hamper full of amazing goodies including Barti Rum and Tenby Harbour Brewery ales.

GTBAL is a lift is a non-profit organisation, situated in Haverfordwest, who provide free and accessible mental health support to those who need it.

They provide a much-needed safe space for the community, offering a unique blend of quality coffee, award-winning counselling, impactful outreach, and sustainable clothing.

“We feel extremely privileged that we got to visit the charity last week, along with Ben’s lovely grandparents to donate a total of £1,000 to this highly deserving cause,” said a spokesperson for Heatherton.

“For a large number of us, reaching out and accessing help for the first time can often be the toughest part.

“That’s where GTBAL provides the invaluable service of running a completely free, online counselling service open to anyone over the age of 17.

“We’d like to thank GTBAL for all their continuous hard work.

“They truly are making such a difference to the lives of so many and we’re glad that our contribution will make a positive difference in the community, while also honouring our colleague, Ben.”
