UK Firewalk, a company specializing in helping charities raise funds from firewalks, set up the 15ft track of hot coals.
The event, sponsored Shentons Solicitors, raised more than £3,000 for the president’s chosen charities – Trinity Winchester’s Women’s Services and Hope Street (One Small Thing) which both work with women to overcome the effects of domestic abuse.
Deborah said: “My thanks to my colleagues who took up the challenge and to our sponsors – a great result! I am grateful to Scott Bell and the team at UK Firewalk for keeping us all safe and to Shentons for their support.”
