It’s been a while since we’ve updated our news page - since we last posted we’ve been deep in our planning season, working closely with our brilliant charity partners to improve and build on their events for 2026. We’ve also welcomed four new partners into the fold so we have some exciting new events to introduce this year too.
Last weekend marked the official Kick-Off of our event season, with two events in the East and South of the country….
East Anglian Air Ambulance’s Trek 24, Suffolk Coast
On sunny Saturday, we welcomed over 200 trekkers to the Suffolk coast path. We’re now in our sixth year of working with the brilliant EAAA and we just love this event series.
24 mile trekkers set off early from Aldeburgh beach, enjoying the beautiful England Coastal Path through Thorpeness, Sizewell and Dunwich, where they were joined by 24km walkers after a slightly shorter route. After reaching Walberswick and Southwold, trekkers headed inland to the stunning Sotterley Estate, where they were welcomed with open arms from volunteers and staff from EAAA, armed with medals, drinks and a much needed freshly baked pizza!
All walkers were helping to raise vital funds to help those in need across East Anglia, and we are so proud of them all.
A huge well done to our HQ team of Tom, Emma and Elodie as well as our crew of Charlie, Fi, Matty, Mark, Sean, Pete and Joanna for their amazing hard work in kicking off our first event of the year!

National Autistic Society’s Spectrum Colour Walk and Run
No rest for the team - moving onto Sunday we delivered the Spectrum Colour Walk for the National Autistic Society, along with a pilot 10km run that we trialled early in the day.
It’s our second year of working with the National Autistic Society and it is such a special event - full of community, colour and fun, inclusive and welcoming, and immensely calm.
We enjoyed introducing some innovative new developments to the core brilliant event, which included:
🏃♂️ A new 10k run, starting and finishing before the walk - a great way to maximise attendance and support whilst using all existing infrastructure and park hire.
🎧 Silent Disco headsets, for walkers or runners to listen to music pre- and post-race, or simply to turn off and use as noise cancelling headphones to quieten the outside world.
🎨 roaming face painters with rainbow themes, adding a pop of colour to everyone's great outfits.
🍦 Ice cream truck, a huge win given today's beautiful weather!
The walk takes place during World Autism acceptance month, and has raised over £58,000 so far, to add to the incredible total of £300,000 raised through the month 🎉
A huge well done to our HQ team of Emma, Erin and Jas for all their hard work, along with our Ops crew of Marina, Henry and Paul.
