For the fourth year running, the pirates are due to embark on a pub crawl of Exeter, this year raising money for Exmouth RNLI’s launch and recovery vehicle appeal.

Members of the public are welcome to join in along the way. The Cap’n says:
Staff members from FORCE Cancer Charity and Exeter Family Friendly came together on Tuesday to toast a hugely successful 12 months, during which Exeter Family has raised £5,500 for their chosen charity of the year.
Exeter Family, who recently won the Corporate Social Responsibility Award at the Exeter Business Awards, raised the majority of the money through staff taking part in daring and dedicated activities, including the Rock Solid Race; a gruelling 5 and 10km obstacle race, a sponsored walk, 100 mile bike ride and supermarket collections.
The Princesshay team continues to support Land Securities’ national charity, the MS Society, by taking part in ‘Wig-ity-60’ on Friday 26 July. The national charity is marking its 60th anniversary this year with a Challenge60 campaign, which aims to raise £250,000 in 60 days to fund vital research.
Members of the Princesshay team wore bright orange wigs on Friday 26 July in an effort to raise awareness and money for the MS Society’s Challenge60 fundraising event. Security guards, car park attendants, cleaners and centre management staff all took part.
