Story

We are proud to be taking part in this year’s raft race to raise money for St David’s Hospice; a charity that is close to our hearts. The challenge, pull together a team, design a raft, build it, hope it floats and sail 6.5 miles down the river Wye.

St David’s provides vital end-of-life care and support to patients and their families across North West Wales. Their work goes far beyond medical treatment, offering compassion, dignity, and comfort during some of life’s most difficult moments.

As a team, we wanted to support their mission in a way that brings people together and makes a splash...literally!''

Several members of our team already volunteer their time with St David’s Hospice, so this fundraiser felt like a natural next step. By coming together as a company, we’re hoping to raise even more funds to support the incredible services the Hospice provides. It’s also a fun and meaningful way for us to get involved in the local community, build team spirit, and show our support for a cause that touches so many lives.

Taking part in the raft race isn’t just about fundraising, it’s about showing up for our community, raising awareness, and making a difference together.

Meet the dream team bringing our raft to life! From left to right: Ed, Sam, Mark, Emma, Kat, Jason, and Dave — each one adding their own splash of brilliance to the build!

We’re excited to get paddling for a purpose and hope you’ll support us in reaching our fundraising goal for this much-needed charity. Every donation, big or small, helps St David’s Hospice continue their compassionate work.

Here’s the raft plan so far — but expect tweaks along the way! Now let’s just hope this beauty actually floats…
