A BUILDING firm in Huddersfield has helped raise thousands of pounds for charity.

Fifty people took part in a sponsored trek to climb Helvellyn in the Lake District.

The expedition was organised by Anderson Patrick, a director of Termrim Construction.

Sponsorship money, expected to total several thousand pounds, will be donated to the Methodist Homes Care Group, which provides care for elderly people. Termrim, based at Old Leeds Road, built the 46-flat Bradley Court care home at Bradley for Methodist Homes.
