The Europa Engineering Group are taking part in the Master Cutler Challenge 2023, in support of Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust.
At the Europa Engineering Group we have already run the Sheffield Half Marathon and now we're on the countdown to the ladies of the Europa Group taking on Tough Mudder on the 24th of June 2023.
The Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust is committed to raising significant sums to support its ambitious programme of development over the coming decade and campaigns and fundraising are key areas to enable its expansion. The money raised is to be used towards a number of targeted programmes at Wentworth Woodhouse including educational projects, community engagement activities, wellbeing programmes and cultural experiences. This goal will be focussed on groups who are often not presented with the same opportunities as others, including people with disabilities, low income households, the socially and economically disadvantaged and ethnic groups.
Wentworth Woodhouse programmes:
The Sky's the Limit Encourages young women and girls to consider jobs once dominated by men including construction and engineering.
10,000 members of the community took part in The Flock, a community land art project at Wentworth Woodhouse that ran throughout the first pandemic lockdown.
35,000 people accessed the grounds of Wentworth for wellbeing and exercise during the pandemic.
Community projects including Art in Chapel with Pakistani Women's Artist Consortium.
7,500 children and young people have benefited from learning and education activities. Children from Rotherham's Yemini community and young people from Rotherham's African community were encouraged to participate in WE Wonder Festival, presenting a series of traditional dance routine.
Local members of Headway, the charity improving life after brain injury, and the Rotherham Wildlife Trust have also benefited by having free access to gardens for activities.
