LES BOURGS’ fund-raising target is now £18,000 less thanks to the efforts of eight staff from Swoffers.

The team completed the Three Peaks Challenge, climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in less than 24 hours in June.

But the task, which some said was the hardest they had ever done, proved worth it when they handed over the money yesterday.

Managing director Matthew Henry said Les Bourgs was a charity close to all their hearts, as it is with everyone else in Guernsey.
