A charitable partnership between Lafarge Aggregates & Concrete UK and The Prince's Trust has now raised more than £100,000 to support disadvantaged young people.

Lafarge employees have taken part in activities including trek challenges, car washes, cake sales, bag packing, race nights, and dress-down days to raise the cash.

The fund-raising received another boost recently following a flurry of endeavours inspired by the Olympic Games.

A fourth annual Lafarge Golf Day at Tydd St Giles Golf and Leisure Club, near Wisbech, saw staff and customers compete in a charity golf challenge. while supervisor Graham Keast used his wife's birthday gift of a free skydiving session to drum up £560.

Spokesman Patrick George Head said: "We are incredibly proud of our association with The Prince's Trust and I think this shows through the amount of hard work and dedication our team has put into raising such an incredible amount of money for it.

"As a business, we believe that it is important to contribute to communities in which we live and work and our partnership with The Prince's Trust has enabled us to do this in a manner that we are sure will have positive repercussions for all involved."

Syston firm Lafarge is an active member of The Prince's Trust's Construction and Business Services Leadership Group, which raises funds to help unemployed young people get into the construction industry.

The Prince's Trust has helped 700,000 young people since 1976.
