🧡 Jo Kline cooked up a delicious treat ahead of our staff meeting - breakfast baps including a combination of bacon, sausage (meat or veggie), egg, mushrooms, sliced tomatoes and even hash browns! But that's not all. Jo also has an extra special touch to her attire today, proudly wearing her Maggie's charity t-shirt.

The fire walk is back! That's right, as we had so much fun raising money for Maggie's in Cheltenham by walking across hot coals, we thought we'd do it again! Take part as a personal challenge or as a team – full training will be provided at the start.

Wednesday 8 March 2023, 6pm - 9pm.

We're looking forward to the No Child Left Behind Awards tomorrow evening at Cheltenham Town Hall. It's been a very challenging year for many, but we know there will be some rays of sunshine that deserve to be recognised and celebrated. Proud sponsors and good luck to all finalists!

We had so much fun at our last Firewalk that we are doing it all again.... 🔥

Challenge yourself, face your fears and walk across hot embers, all while raising money to support people with cancer and their family and friends.

With full training given on the night to build up confidence and motivate, the Firewalk will make you feel fearless and exhilarated. Spectators are welcome to come and cheer you on and we invite everyone to join us for a hot dog afterwards.

If you are inspired, join us on Wednesday 8th March 2023, 6-9pm, at Randall & Payne for just £15. We ask that you make your best efforts to raise £85 in sponsorship or if you're feeling brave, raise more.
