The event was a resounding success, demonstrating the company's commitment to supporting mental health initiatives and giving back to the community.

Gordon Cunningham, Managing Director, Clark Contracts added: "Having reached a fundraising milestone for SAMH earlier this year, with over £20,000 raised for the charity, it is great to see our employees continue to support our fundraising efforts. This annual event is always enjoyed by employees, and it was great to see so many get involved in the fancy dress competition and games."

Rachel Bottomley, Account Manager at SAMH said: "Colleagues at Clark Contracts have shown incredible generosity and commitment, and we are profoundly thankful. Their support has allowed us to reach more individuals with the resources and care they need. We appreciate their unwavering dedication and are excited to continue our impactful work together."
