Local Estate agents Petty’s are again taking part in this year’s Corporate Challenge organised by Pendleside Hospice, and are bringing back their popular little yellow ducks.
After their great success last time round Petty’s decided they couldn’t leave them out.
Ian Bythell, Petty’s Residential Director said “This is such a great initiative by the hospice and we’re really proud to represent our patch as the area’s only chosen Relocation Agent Local Experts. We take our Corporate and Social Responsibility very seriously but that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun at the same time and the yellow ducks certainly do that”
People can purchase a duck from any of the Petty offices. They’re then asked to take the ducks with them where ever they go over the coming months and to send the pictures back to Petty.
Ian said “Just this weekend we had a duck an Ed Sheeran concert in Edinburgh and last time we had ducks go to music festivals, on a world cruise and one even ended up in the back of a police car in Australia! But it was also great to see them at the local super markets, school fairs and just chilling in peoples back gardens”
Petty’s are also running a Trig Point Challenge and donating £1 for every picture taken at the trig point on Pendle Hill so they’re hoping they’ll get some pictures of the ducks up there too.
Christina Cope, from Pendleside Hospice, added: “We’re really grateful to have had a number of prominent local businesses like Petty’s taking part in the challenge and fun initiatives like the ducks really catch people’s imagination. Donations play such a major part in keeping the hospice going and allowing us to continue the important work the hospice does in helping people living with life-limiting illnesses”
