We are proud to announce that we are uniting as a group to take on the Yorkshire Tough Mudder challenge in a range of charities close to our team’s heart.
The team will take on the notoriously grueling obstacle course this summer, tackling some of the world’s most intense obstacle courses that test physical strength, determination and mental grit, all whilst battling mud!
Half of team UKO Group are taking on the 5K challenge that has 12+ obstacles and the other, braver half are taking on the 15K route with 20+ obstacles.
All funds raised through this challenge will support a variety of charitable organisations, including Action For Children, Andy’s Man Club, Cancer Research UK, Dementia UK, Make A Wish Foundation UK, Mental Health Foundation, RNIB, Royal British Legion, The Football Foundation and Weston Park Hospital. Each chosen for their vital work in areas such as mental health, children’s welfare, environmental sustainability, and community development.
Ella Glover, Group Operations and Special Projects, is heading up the initiative. She said; “At UKO Group, we believe in pushing boundaries and pushing ourselves to do the best job we can. The Tough Mudder challenge is a great reminder that life throws all kinds of challenges at us. Taking it on as a team, getting muddy, and doing it for a good cause is our way of showing up for the people and communities that need us most.”
The initiative is part of our broader commitment to corporate social responsibility and employee engagement. We have set an ambitious fundraising target and are welcoming donations through the official campaign page.
