The results are in
The 2018 Ops Fundraising Challenge has again showed us that when a charity needs our support we come together and deliver amazing results.
Colleagues from across the country demonstrated fantastic team and community spirit in their tireless fundraising – cycling, running marathons, holding quizzes and cake sales, scaling mountains, and much, much more.
Over the three months of our 2018 Ops Fundraising Challenge together we raised almost £380,000, including matched giving, for our charity partner Action for Children.
Every penny raised will fund the charity’s internationally acclaimed blues busting initiative, the Blues Programme, helping young people with, or at risk of, developing depression and other mental health conditions.
