ZwickRoell donates €1000 towards the Kingswood Trust “Days in the Woods Project”

ZwickRoell, a leading global supplier of advanced technology materials testing products, which has been operating in the UK for over 40 years, has donated €1000 to Wolverhampton based charity, Kingswood Trust.

The €1000 donation will enable 50 children aged 3-11 to participate on the Kingswood Trust 'Days in the Woods' project. Children living in the city of Wolverhampton will be provided with transport, a healthy lunch and a day of activities in the countryside. The children will be able to take part in nature trails, meeting the sheep and other resident pets, den building, tree climbing, nature watching and forest school activities.

Rachel Wells, Charity Manager of Kingswood Trust said "Thank you so much for this much needed funding that will have a huge impact on children and their families experiencing social and economic deprivation - those who would find it difficult to access an outdoor environmental centre like ours. Children will be able to connect with nature and participate in exciting learning opportunities which will support their physical health and wellbeing."

The donation from ZwickRoell stems from a company initiative called ZwickRoell Runs The World. The initiative occurs annually and has run for six consecutive years which has seen the company donate more than €250,000 to charities since 2017. This year's challenge was to run, walk or hike a total of 180,000km in 60 days. With 1,049 participants made up of staff, customers and suppliers taking part, a total distance of 191,623km was completed which has resulted in €90,000 being donated to multiple charities across the world.

Benno Sadowski, Managing Director of ZwickRoell UK & Ireland said "We are really pleased to donate this money to Kingswood trust who do incredible work. It has been great to visit Kingswood Trust and hear first-hand how our donation will help support the 'Days in the Woods' project.
