It’s that time of year, the nights are closing in and it’s harder to keep healthy – so this years challenge will have the additional motivation of charitable giving to our long term charity partner Red Trouser Day

The 2025 challenge involves the whole UK office intentionally moving for 30 minutes a day for the month of November.

There are a few ‘steps’ to this process – first please sign up to the "Red Trouser Movement Challenge" on Total Active Hub (link in Mark's email)

And form a team of six (we can help with that if needed).

Everyone who participates will be entered into a prize draw, and there will be other ‘perks’ and requests along the way.

Then, if you are able, please make a donation on this page – we will then endeavour to match that amount with a corporate donation. This is not your typical charitable operation and was founded in the IT industry and relies on unpaid volunteers to ensure that nearly all your donation reaches small, high impact projects.

Also watch out for an invitation to an in office event (which will be broadcast to everyone) – where I will discuss some of the work done by Red Trouser Day.

Finally – ready your red trousers, dresses, socks, shoes or shirts as every Wednesday of the walking challenge I’ll be asking for photographic support for the charity – which will also earn extra entries into the draw!

Let’s see how many steps we can make, cycle miles we can achieve, relaxation in yoga hours we can endure and calories we can burn.
