Big Breakfast Plus in Swindon

💙 ONE. FINAL. DAY. 💙

Danny and Brad are heading into Day 5 — and the final day — of their incredible 250km walk from Swindon to Woolacombe!

It’s been an absolutely brutal few days for them. Blisters, sore toes, aching shoulders, back pain and the sheer exhaustion of putting one foot in front of the other across so many miles.

But they are still going!

And today, we really want to carry them through that final stretch with your support.

Whether it’s a message of encouragement, a share of this post or a donation to help raise vital funds for Big Breakfast Plus, every bit of support will give Danny and Brad another reason to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

They’ve walked an incredible distance for us already. Let’s make sure they know they’re not walking that final day alone.

Come on Danny and Brad — Woolacombe is waiting!

Danny and Brad had an amazing first day of their 250km walk from Swindon to Woolacombe, covering an incredible 67km on day one!

They've already raised over £1,000 in sponsorship to support Big Breakfast Plus, and we couldn't be more grateful for their incredible effort.

But there are still 183km to go!

Every donation, however big or small, makes a difference.

Keep going, Danny and Brad!

And they’re off 👏 Danny and Brad are walking all the way to Woolacombe for Big Breakfast Plus.

Day 1 complete with 67km in the bag - from Swindon, all the way to Bath.

They’ve raised over £1000 so far, but we’d love to support Big Breakfast Plus as much as possible. If you can, please donate - if not, please help us share the news! 🍳🚶🍑

Ever wondered what the Plus in Big Breakfast Plus means?

Well, it means lots of things. And one of those things is fruit!

We have fresh fruit delivered twice a week, and our guests can take up to five pieces away with them.

It’s a small extra, but an important one — giving people something healthy, fresh and refreshing to enjoy, especially on these hot summer days.

Just one of the many little ways we try to make our breakfasts about more than just breakfast.

A huge thank you to Danny Hale and Brad Looker, who are taking on an incredible challenge to support Big Breakfast Plus.

On Monday 24 August they'll set off from Swindon and walk 250km to Woolacombe in just five days – covering more than a marathon every single day!

Every mile they walk will help us continue providing a free, freshly cooked breakfast to people in Swindon, seven days a week.

Danny has supported us before through a fundraising raffle with Peach Estate Agents and In410 Running Club, and we're so grateful that he's chosen to take on another challenge to help our community.

Read more about their challenge in the article on our website, and if you'd like to support their fundraising, you'll find the sponsorship link there too. (Links in comments).

Thank you, Danny and Brad – we'll be cheering you on every step of the way.

A huge thank you to the fantastic team from Suntory who recently spent half a day volunteering with us.

Swapping spreadsheets for paintbrushes, they rolled up their sleeves to help clean, paint and sort through donations. Their hard work made a real difference, not only to us but to everyone who uses The Pilgrim Centre.

We don't often host larger corporate volunteering groups, so it was a great opportunity to see how this could work for us in the future. It also gave us the chance to give something back to The Pilgrim Centre by helping improve the shared spaces used by a number of local organisations.

Thank you again to everyone at Suntory for your time, enthusiasm and willingness to get stuck in – we really appreciate your support.

There was excitement in the Big Breakfast Plus café this week as our new aprons arrived!

At first glance, you might think they're exactly the same as the old ones... and you'd be right. But after lots of busy breakfast services, some of our older aprons had definitely earned a well-deserved retirement. These fresh new ones will have our volunteers looking smart as they continue serving up breakfasts with a smile.
