Founded in June 2020, the Kepler Cheuvreux Foundation has distributed £1.5m to medical and food bank charities in the UK and Europe during the pandemic.

To celebrate its first anniversary, colleagues throughout the firm were challenged to cover a total of 2,966km over the weekends of 29-30 May and 5-6 June. This is the distance between Oslo and Madrid, the most northerly and southerly of our 12 offices around Europe.

The 10 members of our team walked, ran and cycled a total of 500km, including the 125km Capital Ring on a boris bike in a day (this had never been done before).

The funds raised will support food banks in the UK and Europe as lockdown lifting further exposes the social impact of the pandemic. The UK beneficiaries are City Harvest (cityharvest.org.uk) and Felix's Kitchen (thefelixproject.org). Please help us to raise as much as possible. Thank you!
