What an incredible achievement from David!

Throughout April, he took on the challenge of running a marathon every single day for his 30 marathons in 30 days fundraiser, and he's completed it in truly outstanding style.

So far, he's raised over £20,000 for Mind, SAMH and Backup Tech, an amazing milestone and a testament to his dedication, resilience, and sheer grit and determination.

But he's not stopping there. His original goal was £30,000, and he is more motivated than ever to get there. The journey isn't over yet, so there's still time to support him as he pushes towards the finish line.

Keep your eyes on David’s page - to see what he does next and how the final stretch unfolds. https://givewheel.com/fundraising/12316/30-in-30-marathon-challenge/

Join us at the Backup Tech Village Fete for a brilliant day of community, connection, and a bit of friendly competition.

If you're looking for the perfect way to experience the day in comfort while still being right at the heart of the action, the Gamekeepers Pitch Package is just the ticket and gives you everything you need for a great day out.

You'll get six non karting tickets and your own dedicated space to pitch a gazebo, so you can settle in, relax, and enjoy all the activity around you with your group.

It's a great option for teams, friends, or anyone who wants a base for the day while still being fully involved in the fun of the Village Fete.

Spaces are limited and go quickly, so it's worth securing yours early to avoid missing out.

Come along, make a day of it, and be part of something special.

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, and it's a chance to talk about something that matters deeply in our industry.

Working in tech and production can be exciting, fast paced, and rewarding, but it can also come with uncertainty, pressure, and moments that feel overwhelming.

We want to be clear. If you are going through a difficult time, you are not alone. We are here to support you-
if you are struggling financially and not able to access or afford counselling, we can help with financial aid to get you the support you need, and connect you with a industry counsellor
if you are looking to find a industry related counsellor yourself, please email us and we can provide you with a list of counsellors

Please take care of yourself and each other.

And if you need us, reach out.
