ANNOUNCING OUR 2023 CHARITY FUNDRAISING GOAL

The Big Bamboo Agency is happy to announce that we have set ourselves a new fundraising challenge for 2023!

Throughout the year, we are going to be completing a variety of challenges to raise money for Pancreatic Cancer UK.

The charity provides support for people affected by pancreatic cancer, funds vital research, and campaigns for faster diagnosis and better treatment.

To kick things off, a group of Big Bambooers have committed to Pancreatic Cancer’s ‘Jog 28 Miles in February’ challenge – which works out at a mile a day, or approximately running a 5k every three days!

If that wasn’t enough, our HR Consultant Becky will be running the London Marathon in April.

And as a full team, we are going to be hiking the Knaresborough Round, a scenic route through the Yorkshire countryside near our Harrogate office. But don’t be deceived – at 20 miles, this will be a serious challenge for our team to complete in one day.

Pancreatic Cancer UK was chosen as our charity of the year by vote at our 2022 Christmas party. 

The charity is very close to our hearts, as two colleagues have been personally affected by the disease, having lost close family members to it.

So we’re determined to do everything we can to raise money for this very worthy cause.

Last year, we were proud to smash our fundraising target for our 2022 chosen charity, Mind. We walked over hot coals and completed the 22-mile Harrogate Ringway hike – bonding over nerves and sore feet respectively!

We set a target of raising £2,022, and we were so happy to finish with a total of £2,572.

So, can we do even better this year?

We’ve set a target of raising £5,000 for Pancreatic Cancer UK in 2023 – but can we beat it?

To kick us off, please donate to our fundraiser if you are able!

Let’s go Big Bamboo!
