Getting Muddy for a Cause: Our Tough Mudder Challenge for the St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation

Event Date: August 2025

This August, a team of ten colleagues will be trading their usual weekend routines for something a little messier—and much more meaningful.

We’re proud to announce that we’ll be taking on the Tough Mudder 5K, a mud-soaked obstacle course designed to test endurance, courage, and teamwork. And we’re doing it all in support of a charity that’s close to our hearts: the St. James's Place Charitable Foundation.

Why We’re Taking on Tough Mudder

The Tough Mudder 5K is more than just a physical challenge—it’s about pushing limits and pulling together. Over 5 kilometres, our team will face a variety of iconic obstacles involving walls, tunnels, water, and (of course) lots of mud.

We’re not doing this for glory—we’re doing it to raise money for the St. James's Place Charitable Foundation. For over 30 years, the Foundation has been funding life-changing initiatives for people who face real and lasting disadvantage. This includes children who are disadvantaged physically, socially or economically, plus hospices, mental health and cancer support charities. 

We’re incredibly proud to be raising funds to support their work
