Story

We're taking on the Orwell Challenge!

On Sunday 29 June, the Pound Gates team will be lacing up our walking shoes and taking part in the Orwell Challenge, a Suffolk tradition and a fantastic opportunity to get active and raise funds for local causes.

From the full 25-mile ‘Orwell Walk’ to shorter routes like the ‘Levington Loop’, each team member is choosing a distance that will represent a personal challenge - and we’re doing it together for a great cause. The Pound Gates team will include staff, family and friends.

Why We're Walking

The 60+ participants are raising money for The Acorn Fund, our partnership with Suffolk Community Foundation. The fund supports vital grassroots charities and causes across Suffolk, helping those who need it most.

Our business is paying the entry fee for all our team members and will provide some matching for money members of our team generate in donations - increasing the impact of your donation right from the start.

Help Us Make a Difference

If you able to, please consider sponsoring us. Every step we take on 29 June will be powered by your generosity - and your support will keep us moving when the blisters kick in!

Thank you for backing our challenge, and for supporting Suffolk causes that matter.

PS: If you are sponsoring an individual team member, please mention their name when you leave a comment.
