This February, the Commercial Maintenance Team; Dave Rees-Jones, Adam Nagy, Sam Campbell, Chris Hutton, Dan Bridgen, Cheerye Honeyghan, Emily Williams, Jennie Brown, Peter Michael, Peter Brown, Osman Hamed-Fontanilla, Liz Benson, Emma Maude, and Chloe Tucker, will be hosting a fundraising drive to support Ground Control's ‘Charity of the Year’. To honour our colleague, Simon and to raise funds for the RNLI, the team will be organising a series of events throughout February, including:

• 2-Day Car Wash & Soak-a-Colleague at HQ

Bring your car along to HQ for a wash by our team! Plus, don’t miss the chance to take part in Soak-a-Colleague; throw wet sponges at Dave Rees-Jones and Emily Williams!!! Want to soak someone else in the team? No problem, just make sure you donate generously, and your wish might come true!

• Virtual Quiz Night

Get your team together for a fun quiz via Teams. There will be a donation to enter, and bragging rights for the winning team! More details to follow.

• Bingo

Eyes down and dabbers ready! Join us for a lively bingo event full of laughs. Rumour has it Dave and Emily might struggle to keep up with the numbers - but at least they won’t need to dodge wet sponges this time!

• Sponsored Silence

This one’s not to be missed - Dave and Emily will be attempting a sponsored silence! Yes, you heard that right: no talking back, no witty comebacks, and no cheeky excuses. For those of you who’ve dreamed of a day when Dave and Emily couldn’t talk their way out of anything, now’s your chance to savour the peace!

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference. As an added incentive, Ground Control will match every £1 donated, doubling the impact of your generosity.

Thank you so much for your support—it means the world to us and to the RNLI.
