We climbed Snowdon for Forces Support Kidderminster 💙 This Wednesday, the Kidderminster BID team took on Snowdon to raise money for our amazing local charity, Forces Support.

It was definitely a bit nippy at the top, but we all made it 🙌 A massive thank you to everyone who supported us, whether you donated to Forces Support or simply sent us a message wishing the team well.
