Our Southampton office swapped hard hats for egg and spoon races during their first ever charity sports day.
Teams picked up the baton for a good cause, and sprinted towards the finish line to raise money for Naomi House & Jacksplace. These hospices offer specialist care, counselling and bereavement support for children, young adults and caregivers. They also provide an essential respite for more than 1,000 families across Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Berkshire, the Isle of Wight, West Sussex, Surrey and beyond.
The day was extra special for Southampton team member Adam Griffiths, as his daughter receives regular respite care at the hospice.

From welly wanging to sack races, people put their best foot forward to raise money for an amazing cause. They were supported by local businesses who contributed to the charity, including Woodcut Media Ltd and Mid Hampshire Healthcare Ltd.
Southampton Office Lead Ollie Chun helped to organise this event, with the ultimate aim of raising over £2,000 for Naomi House & Jacksplace.
Lynda Crook, Senior Corporate Fundraiser at Naomi House, shared how meaningful it was to receive support from a business with a personal connection to the charity.
