Story
We’re proud to support Marie Curie as our Charity of the Year for 2025–2026!
Across the GPS team, colleagues from every part of the business will be coming together to raise funds for this vital cause — and we’re excited to launch a year full of meaningful, fun, and energetic activities.
From bake sales and raffles to fitness challenges, dress-down days, and team-wide events, our whole site will be getting involved in a variety of fundraising efforts. Whether it’s a small act of kindness or a big show of stamina, every contribution will help make a difference.
One of the standout moments in our fundraising calendar: three of our senior leaders will be taking on the 2026 London Marathon!
Meet the runners:
- Viv Georgy, GP Partner
- Simon Tunnicliffe, Managing Partner
- Paige Farnsworth, Head of Operations
They’ll be running 26.2 miles on Sunday, April 26, 2026, in support of Marie Curie — and in solidarity with our company-wide fundraising mission.
Our London Marathon team will be taking on the Solihull Half Marathon on 10 August as part of their preparation and to boost their fundraising efforts.
They’ll be joined by other GPS colleagues participating in various distances — including the 5K and Half Marathon — all running to raise money for Marie Curie. It’s a true team effort, and we’re proud of everyone lacing up their trainers for a good cause!
