Six employees of Hull-based Spencer Bridge Engineering have helped to raise money and awareness for the Menai Heritage Museum by picking up their paddles to take part in the Great Strait Raft Run.
The Menai Heritage Trust honours the two world-famous bridges that span the Menai Strait – the Menai Suspension Bridge and Britannia Bridge.
The team, nicknamed the Menai Museum Pirates rowed from Y Felinheli to St Georges Pier Promenade on a hand-built raft made from redundant and recycled construction materials, raising over £800 for the museum.
Spencer Bridge Engineering also sponsored the children’s colouring competition during the event and handed out almost 100 medals and certificates to entrants, as well as presenting the three winners with their prizes.
Customer Relationship Manager Diane Rowe said: “This is the second year we have taken part in the Raft Race and once again it was a brilliant day enjoyed by all.
“We wanted to support the trust by raising both funds and awareness so that it can continue telling the story of the Menai and Britannia Bridges, the rich marine environment and outstanding beauty of the Strait.
“We know the projects we work on can have an impact on local communities and we are always available to answer any questions or concerns. Where possible, we like to get involved in community activities and local organisations.”
