Ian Williams' Chairman takes part in 'Swimarathon' for charity Steve Perry, Chairman of leading property services specialist Ian Williams, helped Clifton Rotary Club raise over GBP10,000 by sponsoring and taking part in a 26 mile 'Swimarathon' on 11th March.

Steve personally swam 250 lengths, equivalent to four miles! The Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of Bristol, Peter and Pearl Abraham, cheered the participants on.

Ian Williams sponsored the annual event for the tenth time and helped organise sponsorship from a variety of companies.

The money raised will help Water Aid, which is supported by Rotary International and helps one million people escape the poverty and disease caused by living without safe water and sanitation.

It will also go to the Suketar Health Centre project, which will provide a health post in Nepal offering first aid, vaccinations and follow up treatment services.

Locally, the money will help Young Bristol.

This is a voluntary body representing 40 youth clubs and over 6,000 young people providing opportunity and guidance in areas of greatest need.

Steve Perry explains: "Ian Williams is pleased to support Clifton Rotary Club again as we are committed to helping local communities and charities".

"Although swimming four miles was hard work it was well worth the effort for such good causes!" Ian Williams and Clifton Rotary Club would like to thank the following companies for sponsoring the event: The USP Group, The Bridge Strategy Group, Brewers, David Fear Electrical, Akzo, Northgate Vehicle rental, Watts van Hire, Permadoor, Elliothire, DandG Flooring and W.G.
