and for supporting our work. It promises
to be a great night, and to reassure fel-
low Firewalkers that there is nothing to
worry about, I have volunteered to go
first across the hot coals. I have done a
Firewalk before, and it was such a

Members news Nobilia GB Select P2 to Advance IT Systems IT specialist P2 Technologies is pleased
to announce its latest contract and
recently completed project for
Mytholmroyd based kitchen manufac-
turer and retailer, Nobilia GB Ltd.
To support business growth, Nobilia
required an improved system and trust-
ed IT managed service provider in order
to deliver solid foundations for efficient
business practise. Current IT systems
were underperforming, whilst the com-
plexity and business IT requirement
was growing required a period of con-
sultation to evaluate the IT in its cur-
rent state and produce a structured
approach to moving the IT systems
forward.
After understanding the current use of
technology, Nobilia’s business process
and applying key monitoring metrics,
P2 were able to present the best cost
effective solution to optimise efficiency,
data access and security. Nobilia
selected a Microsoft virtualised server
system to reduce capital cost on the
number of physical servers required,
installed on scalable Dell server hard-
ware. The system is protected from
class leading backup system from
Commvault and remotely monitored by
P2.
The new IT system is managed by
experienced and accredited engineers
at P2 under its OneSupport system,
whilst P2 add additional on-going value
by proactively monitoring IT systems,
provide on-going strategy guidance and
helpdesk facilities.
Customer experience and relationships
are major factors for P2 and consistent
delivery of positive customer service is
instilled within all P2 staff. Martin Page,
Director at P2 Technologies, comment-
ed: “I am delighted that our first
project with Nobilia has gone smoothly
and efficiently as expected. The recent
IT changes within the business allow
the firm to grow and deliver their high
quality services in the future. The
implementation of OneSupport will
ensure that Nobilia’s IT system
continues to run successfully.”

A ground-breaking fundraising
partnership between Huddersfield
Town Football Club (HTAFC) and the
Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA) has
raised over £1million.
The pioneering ‘Keep It Up’ campaign,
was launched back in 2009 to help
establish sustainable income for the
Charity as well as supporting
Huddersfield Town’s Youth Academy,
which actively promotes the develop-
ment of future football stars from the
local community. Over the last five
years, Huddersfield Town have driven
the campaign through a series of high
profile events including Walk for
Pounds, Run for Pounds and the now
infamous Pedal for Pounds cycle
challenge.
The campaign was a first of its kind in
the Football League and no one could
have pre-empted how successful it
would turn out.
Paul Gowland, YAA’s Director of
Fundraising said “Five years ago when
we launched the ‘Keep It Up’ campaign,
we could never have predicted just how
successful the partnership was going to
be. It was new territory for both us and
HTAFC – neither of us had ever been
involved in a partnership like this
before. We knew it would be a success,
we didn’t quite realise just how
successful!”
Paul continues “HTAFC have been
fantastic at driving the campaign,
however the success of it has been
down to the fans getting behind ‘Keep
It Up’ and showing their support. Their
passion and dedication to the campaign
over the last five years is amazing and
they should all be commended for their
continued support. We cannot thank
them and the Club enough.”
Huddersfield Town Chairman Dean
Hoyle added:
“Huddersfield Town is committed to
making a difference to the local
community and there is no better
example of the Club and its fans
working together, alongside a charity
with this goal than the ‘Keep It Up’
campaign.”
“The Yorkshire Air Ambulance provides
a vital service across our county and I’m
delighted to report that the money
generated for the charity through ‘Keep
It Up’ has funded every life-saving flight
the YAA has undertaken in a
Huddersfield postcode since we
launched this partnership in 2009.
Keep It Up has also been of huge
financial benefit to our Academy; the
success of which is very important to
the long-term sustainability of the Club.
I would like to thank everyone who has
contributed to make the Keep It Up
campaign such a huge success, from the
staff at Huddersfield Town and the YAA
to all the cyclists, walkers, runners and
every other person who has participat-
ed in an event or has made a donation.”
For every £1 raised through the ‘Keep It
Up’ campaign, 50p is donated to the
YAA, and the other 50p is donated to
the Huddersfield Town Youth Academy.
The monies have been raised through a
series of successful events, including the
annual ‘Pedal for Pounds’ bike rides
which took hundreds of riders,
hundreds of miles across the UK.
The most recent ride saw nearly 300
cyclists embark on the ‘Chapman Trail’
cycling the 250 miles back to
Huddersfield’s John Smith Stadium from
Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium in London.
Over the five ‘Pedal for Pounds’ rides,
635 different cyclists have taken part,
covering a total of 1,250 miles and
raising in excess of £700,000 to the
‘Keep It Up’ campaign.
The ‘Walk for Pounds’ events have also
raised over £61,000 and the annual
carol concert tipped the £5,000 mark.
There have also been many fantastic
fundraising events organised directly by
the fans themselves which have includ-
ed running from Lands End to John
O’Groats, football tournaments, balls
and local collections.
Yorkshire Air Ambulance’s logo also
appeared on the front of the team’s
shirts during the 2009/10 football
season, with the players wearing a
special YAA red and yellow shirt during a
home win over Southend United in
January 2010.
The occasion was marked in style earlier
today when one of the YAA’s
helicopters made a visit to HTAFC’s
training ground at PPG Canalside – the
home of the HTAFC Academy.

It’s All About the Food & Drink Festival Last month we announced the launch
of the You’re Welcome Campaign in
conjunction with the Welcome
Centre. This month we get to tell you
about some of the fantastic things we
will be doing as part of this year’s
festival. It’s going to be jam packed
and fun filled. So let us begin. …...
The Campaign is
running nicely now
and members of the public can
donate directly to the Welcome
Centre. Those that donate, quoting
that its part of the ‘You’re Welcome’
campaign, will receive a specially
designed badge during the festival
period, (7th – 10th August) they will
also have the opportunity to win a
chance to undertake a cookery
demonstration with this year’s festival
host chef, Phil ‘the Demo Chef’ Lever-
ington.
There will be designated drop off
points at the festival. We hope that
the campaign will benefit a significant
amount of people and spread the
word about the amazing work the
Welcome Centre perform on a daily
basis.
Chris has been a self-employed chip
shop owner for a long time but a few
years ago he was diagnosed with three
blood clots. This meant hospitalisation
and led to a major financial crisis; he
lost his business, couldn’t pay his
mortgage and lost his house.
His partner was working full time,
however became pregnant and
went on maternity. Whilst she was off
the stresses of everything became too
much and she was hospitalised
following a breakdown. Chris’s health
means he can no longer work and has
to struggle to help look after his now 2
½ year old.
His partner is on sick leave however
statutory sick pay is reducing quickly
and she’s waiting for Personal Inde-
pendence Payments
(Replaces Disability Living Allowance)
to be approved.
They’ve waited 22 weeks so far for this
to be processed and could not have
survived without the support of the
Welcome Centre for food and nappies.
Chris said “I’ve worked all my life, I’ve
never scrounged and we’ve been let
down by a system for taking so long to
help us. I couldn’t have got by and fed
my daughter without the kind support
of the centre and ladies like Tina and
the volunteers. I will get back on my
feet and when I do I’ll be back to help
however I can”
