COOMERS Timber and Building Supplies staff, plus some of their friends, have raised £3,784 for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance by taking on a muddy and challenging 7km obstacle course.

The course - known as the Nuts Challenge - included hill slides, rope swings, tunnels, cargo nets, mud and water.

It took three hours to complete, and despite bruises and scratches the Coomers team had lots of fun and laughter, all for a good cause.

Coomers thanked everyone who participated, fundraised and sponsored its staff and friends.

This was the second time Coomers, which has branches in Alton, Bordon and Haslemere, has participated in this annual event for its charity of the year.

Coomers chose Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance as its charity of the year after it came to the rescue of a staff member several years ago, and the crew’s prompt action went a long way towards the man’s recovery.

The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance receives no government funding and relies solely on donations from the community.
