Welcome to 2026!
Hello and welcome to 2026. We’d just like to say a huge thank you for all your support throughout 2025 – it really was the most incredible year.

August 2025: Summer Catch-Up
And just like that we’re moving into the final third of the year! Welcome to our summer round up, and what an incredible summer it has been so far – in fact, what an incredible year it has been so far. Embarking on 21 for 21 back in January was a pretty nervy time. Can we deliver on 21…

May Update – Charity of the Year!
It has been an extremely busy few months for us and there’s so much for you to catch up on! We must start somewhere though, so were better than our recent triumph at the Goole & Howdenshire Business Awards 2023. We still can’t quite believe that we actually picked up the Charity of the Year award last month. It’s crazy!…

February Update
Wow. What a hectic six months it has been. It feels strange to be writing an update of this size after a relatively small amount of time, but we honestly can’t believe just how much we’ve achieved since our original launch back in July, 2022. As I write this post we’ve raised just over £24,000 for Teenage Cancer Trust. Let…
