Construction company contractors will be wheeled into a Cheltenham retail centre by wheelbarrow tomorrow to help raise money for good causes.

Member of Kier Central, who are working on The Brewery Quarter, Cheltenham, are taking part in the Kier Construction Group 2020 nationwide challenge.

On Friday 26 May they will be wheelbarrowed an uncomfortable three and a half miles from Cleeve School in Bishop's Cleeve to the Brewery Quarter.

This year's Kier 2020 challenge aims to raise over £200,000 for charity. Starting at the most northerly Kier site on Orkney the challenge is to join up each business on a green relay route that takes in all Kier offices and as many sites as possible, using only 'non-motorised' forms of transport.

The journey has to be completed in 2020 hours and must finish at Kier's most southerly site in Cornwall.

The monies raised from sponsorship will go towards the current Kier Foundation charity, Alzheimer's Society and also other charities nominated by each of the local offices.

Having raised over £18,000 and rising, Cheltenham's Kier Central team will be enduring the bumpy wheelbarrow ride to raise money for their chosen local charity - the Cheltenham and Gloucester Hospitals Trust, before passing the baton on to The Brewery Quarter's operations manager Terri Brewster.

On Saturday 27 May, Kier mascots, cyclists and roller skaters will then relay the baton from The Brewery Quarter, via Cheltenham Ladies College to Shire Hall, Gloucester where Councillor Steve Morgan, the Mayor of Gloucester will receive it before sending it on its way to Kier's Quedgeley offices.

After a two-day rest, on Tuesday May 30 cyclists will pass the baton from Gloucester to Oxford via Gloucester Ski slope (skiing at 10am) and the Duke of Gloucester barracks at Cirencester before it lands at Oxford Business Park to be picked up by a team from Kier's Newbury office.

Kier operations director, Ben Ramsay, who will be part of the team running the baton into Gloucestershire, said: "It's really satisfying to see such great participation from not only our employees but our friends and partners outside Kier helping to raise funds for two such important charities"

Marketing manager for The Brewery Quarter, Demelsa Coleman, said: "We're looking forward to welcoming the Kier 2020 national challenge to The Brewery Quarter. The challenge is a great opportunity to give back to local charity the Cheltenham and Gloucester Hospitals Trust, as well as the Alzheimer's Society. It's sure to be a spectacle so get donating!"
