A Silsden company is helping a local girl stay cosy while on an expedition to Borneo.

Sarah Hellewell will use a sleeping bag made by outdoor pursuit specialists Snugpak.

And the firm is among several businesses which have supported Sarah's own fundraising for her trip.

Sarah flies out to Singapore today, then spends three weeks in Borneo on a range of adventurous activities.

She will climb some of the country's highest mountains, trek through the rainforests and watch thousands of bats leaving caves at dusk.

For Sarah the highlight will be the fulfilment of her life ambition to see orang utans in the wild.

Sarah said Snugpak was keen to help the expedition.

"They very kindly provided me with a specially made lightweight, low volume sleeping bag," she said.

Sarah and her family set out to raise £2,000 needed for the trip, which is organised by the Yorkshire Schools Exploring Society.

A race night organised by Keighley Lions raised more than £1,100, and Sarah received a substantial donation from local charity Cartasport for Christ.

Sarah has also thanked businesses that donated prizes, including AMF Bowl, Reid's bookshop, the Wharfe, Fletcher's and Boots.
