SIXTEEN volunteers spent the weekend tackling the Noah's Ark Challenge at West Malvern Outdoor Centre.

They spent three days doing activities such as abseiling, canoeing and the high rope course, to raise money for the cause the Noah's Ark Trust, a charity which provides support for bereaved children in Worcestershire.

They raised £2,700, enough to send 12 children to one of Noah's Ark's residential weekends.

Ann Jones of the trust said: "It was a brilliant weekend, a real challenge but very enjoyable.

"In fact, it went so well we want to make it an annual event and we would like to hear from anyone who would like to take part next year."

Anyone interested can call the trust on 01905 745735.
