KPMG Big Blue Kick · 18 May 2012 ·

When life gets tough or it feels like there's nowhere to turn, Barnardo's is here. We make sure children and young people feel safer, happier and more hopeful by directly supporting them with specialist services across the UK. We have been changing childhoods and changing lives for over 150 years.

Story

On Friday 18th May at 11:30, KPMG Gatwick's fittest (in some cases...) and finest took to the outdoors and performed a Taekwondo routine, which was performed simultaneously by 770 other KPMG colleagues up and down the country. In the process KPMG set a new Guiness World Record for the largest ever multi-location taekwondo display. We hope to raise over £200,000 nationally for Barnardo's through our endeavors.

Barnardo’s transforms the lives of vulnerable children across the UK through the work of their projects, their campaigning and their research expertise, and this really is a fantastic opportunity to raise as much money as we can for them as our nominated People Charity.

Thank you so much,

The Gatwick Taekwondo Team
