THANK YOU so much to everyone who joined us for the Glow Green: Snowdon trek!

We would like to say a huge well done and thank you to everyone who joined Team Clatterbridge last weekend as we conquered Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon. Walking 15,000m through the night, over 100 of our amazing supporters lit up the mountain and raised a whopping £30,000 in the process!

Emma Rodgers

The Clatterbridge Fairy was specially created by our Charity Patron, internationally acclaimed sculptor, Emma Rodgers.

We asked Emma to share why she's supporting our Fairy Appeal:
"I have been a Patron of Clatterbridge Cancer Charity for 14 years now, as my mum is cared for there. They are incredible with her and getting the 'all clear' was a wonderful moment. They've done more for me than I can ever do for them, so creating the Fairy seems a small thing, really.

And this year I will be dedicating my Fairy to Professor Myint and the Team at Clatterbridge love from Emma, Milly, Annie and family."
