Leading energy efficiency company Consumer Energy Solutions (CES) has raised money for their charity of the year, Crisis, by taking part in the Swansea beach rugby tournament, Beach Rugby Wales.

The tournament, founded in 2006, sees a host of ex-international rugby stars taking part alongside newbies to the sport. 48 teams took part in this year’s event, sponsored by Nathaniel Cars MG.

Swansea-based CES fielded a team in the annual tournament which took place last month, led by Scott Barclay and Kyle Fisher, raising over £500 for Crisis.

Crisis is a national charity that helps people directly out of homelessness and campaigns for the changes needed to end homelessness altogether.

The Skylight, located on St Helen’s Road, Swansea, is one of 9 run by Crisis across the UK. The Skylight team support people at risk of or currently experiencing homelessness in Swansea, Neath and Port Talbot to end their homelessness through providing advice, support and learning opportunities.

CES, which has permanent bases across Wales and the South West and has a workforce of more than 800 people, supports customers in energy-proofing their homes to reduce their carbon footprint and ultimately, their energy bills.

Gemma Morris, Operations Manager at Crisis Skylight South Wales, said: “I’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to CES for their ongoing support over the years, and for this donation in particular. A big thanks to Scott and Kyle for thinking of us when entering the tournament, and a big congratulations to them.”

Scott Barclay, Technical Surveyor Coordinator, Insulation Department at CES, said: “We’re so pleased to have raised so much for our chosen charity Crisis, all whilst having fun in the sun in Swansea Bay. The annual tournament is a great day out and to have raised much needed funds for such an important charity as Crisis is a great feeling. We hope to do the same again next year.”
