2026 is no different and this year we are hoping to keep up the momentum and raise even more money for under privileged families.
We raised an incredible amount of money last year and this year is set to be no different. We had our first ever regional Flying Start ball which went down a storm and we can't wait to share our plans with you for this year.
We supported our site managers who had a leisurely stroll from Newcastle to Manchester in June 2025 (pictured below) and this years June challenge is our Customer Care Mont Blanc Stomp and Lindsay Shenton is representing Manchester with the biggest fundraising target and challenge to date. All very exciting!
Flying Start is a huge passion for us and the fundraising is one element but also creating awareness and teaching colleagues where their hard earned cash is being spent is so invaluable for us keep encouraging people to get involved.
We are ready for the challenge and 2026 will see us hit new heights of fundraising whilst we attempt to raise even more and have some fun along the way.
