“I’m so passionate about this charity, I’ll do anything they want to raise money!”

Those famous last words…

In one of his first commitments as Gattaca’s new CEO, Matt Wragg agreed – in front of many, many witnesses – to do anything the Senior Leadership Team asked him to, to raise money for our charity partner, Foothold. But since finding out which ambitious activity he would be undertaking, it would be fair to say he is now somewhat regretting his offer…

On Friday, May 20th Matt will be taking to the skies for a sponsored wing walk!

Given that he’s not fond of heights, this challenge will certainly push Matt to his limits. But as many of you know, Matt is passionate about our company purpose – to build a better future – and there are no limits to how far he is willing to go to make this a reality.

At Foothold, they consistently go above and beyond to build a better future for our direct communities of engineers and technologists, relying solely on fundraising efforts and donations. Foothold exists to support engineers and their families to face life's challenges. Whatever the problem, large or small, personalised advice and support is on hand whenever and wherever it's needed. From health and wellbeing to legal and career support, help is at the end of the Foothold helpline.

In comparison to their mammoth efforts, Matt’s challenge is a (wing) walk in the park.

To keep delivering on their promise to our communities, they need our support. But more importantly, they need our donations. So, let’s dig deep and give what we can in support of Matt and this great charity.

Donating couldn’t be easier:
