PolySteel's Sponsored Charity

HCPT Visit to Lourdes - Easter 2008

PolySteel helped to sponser this visit to Lourdes which gave the children who have varying needs the opportunity to see a different country and enjoy a break from their carers.  The visit to Lourdes was very successful and the whole party was moved by the prayers and singing which took place over the Easter celebrations.

The Dunkirk Spirit

21st July 2007

With the extremes of weather which are lashing the county, what better way could there be to cheer up over 140 guests who attended the PolySteel UK DEMOB Charity Ball at St Gregory’s School, Knapp Rd, Cheltenham (used during the war for many tea dances).  With a theme set to represent the ending of World War 2 many dressed up in period costume.

The event raised over two thousand pounds for  charity HCPT with a night of big band sounds of Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra and others played cheerfully by the PolySteel Brass Band.  Whilst the rest of the county was a ‘wash out’, locals rallied round to raise enough to send 4 local disabled or needy children on a pilgrimage to Lourdes, France next Easter.
