United In Mud & Mission

The City & Essex team have laced up once again for the Tough Mudder 5K South London, our third time taking on the challenge! Together, we powered through 14 muddy obstacles, cheered each other on, and shared plenty of laughs (and a few bruises) along the way.

But the real victory came after the finish line. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, and City & Essex matching every pound raised, we’re proud to announce that the final total for The Childhood Trust stands at an amazing £4,052!

A Huge Thank You
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our brilliant partners Pink Hygiene Ltd and Wessex Cleaning Equipment and Janitorial Supplies Ltd for joining us both on the course and in our fundraising efforts. Your teamwork and enthusiasm made the day unforgettable.

And of course, a special shoutout to Brand Identity for kitting us out with our fantastic team shirts. They made it easy to spot each other amongst thousands of mud-covered faces!

Why It Matters
The Childhood Trust is London’s child poverty charity, dedicated to helping disadvantaged children and young people. Through partnerships with local charities and community projects, they provide essential funding, improve living environments, and support families struggling with the effects of poverty. Their work helps ensure children have access to safe spaces, educational opportunities, and the support they need to thrive, breaking cycles of hardship and giving hope for a brighter future.

Every donation helps them continue this vital work, turning community spirit into real, lasting change for children across London!
