The first ever Screwfix-a-thon! A 26.2 mile fun walk, job, run or crawl... taking part alongside our Virtual London Marathon runners showing our support and raising funds for The Screwfix Foundation. I will be taking part in a 10K Run From Cwmbran to Newport Screwfix, with our Area manager Graham, Mark (Branch manger) and Dan (Assistant Manager) Newport, Geoffrey (Assistant manger) Hereford. We are taking part because we want to show our support for such a great cause.

The Screwfix Foundation is a registered charity set up in 2013. We have a clear purpose of raising funds to support projects that will fix, repair, maintain and improve properties and community facilities for those in need throughout the UK. How do we raise money? We raise funds throughout the year to support causes that will change people’s lives. We work with both national and local charities, donating much needed funds to help all sorts of projects, from repairing buildings and improving facilities in deprived areas, to decorating the homes of people living with sickness and disabilities.
