From Glastonbury Tor to Cheddar Gorge, the Polyvine team came together for a charity walk that raised an incredible £4,100 for The Grand Appeal, supporting Bristol Children’s Hospital.
This summer, our team swapped varnish for walking boots to take on a charity challenge in support of a cause close to home.
Walking for a Worthwhile Cause
In September, members of the Polyvine team set off on a charity walk from the iconic Glastonbury Tor to Cheddar Gorge, taking on the beautiful Somerset countryside to raise money for The Grand Appeal, the official charity of Bristol Children’s Hospital.
The challenge was about much more than reaching the finish line. It was an opportunity to bring our team together, support a fantastic local charity and raise funds to help children and families facing incredibly difficult circumstances.
With plenty of determination, teamwork and encouragement along the way, our walkers completed the challenge, and the generosity of everyone who supported us helped make the day a real success.
An Incredible £4,100 Raised for The Grand Appeal
We’re absolutely delighted to announce that our charity walk raised £4,100 for The Grand Appeal!
It’s a fantastic achievement and one that everyone at Polyvine can be proud of.
The money raised will help support the charity’s work for Bristol Children’s Hospital, providing vital assistance to young patients and their families.
From family accommodation and wellbeing support to specialist equipment and facilities, The Grand Appeal works to make a real difference to children receiving hospital care and the people who love them.
Knowing that our efforts can contribute to this important work makes every step worthwhile.
What Is The Grand Appeal?
The Grand Appeal is the official charity of Bristol Children’s Hospital, supporting sick children and their families from Bristol, Somerset, the South West and beyond.
The charity funds projects and services that help improve the hospital experience for young patients, including family accommodation, child-friendly facilities, specialist medical equipment and programmes designed to support children’s wellbeing.
Proud to Be Part of the Somerset Community
As we celebrate our 40th anniversary in 2026, we’re reflecting not only on how far we’ve come as a British manufacturer, but also on the people and communities who have been part of our journey.
Our charity walk was a wonderful reminder of what can be achieved when people come together for a shared purpose.
We want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped us reach our £4,100 fundraising total.
To our brilliant team members who took on the walk, everyone who donated, and all those who encouraged and supported us along the way – thank you!
