FIVE members of the same company are preparing to scale the UK's highest mountain in aid of charity this weekend.

Workers at Brindles Limited, a car hire company based in Ribchester, are climbing Ben Nevis in Scotland in order to raise funds for The Children's Society.

Brindles has already secured sponsorship of over £4,500 through donations from partners and customers and is hoping to continue raising funds for the charity.

Joanne Brindle said "This is a great opportunity for us to take on a challenge and have a great day out whilst raising money for a superb cause.

"The whole team is excited for this challenge and it makes it all the better that we are raising so much money for The Children's Society."
