Bright Horizons Foundation for Children UK

Lucy Little, Nursery Manager from Bright Horizons UK Bedfont Lakes Nursery, and her friend Gosia, walked 25km around London on 24th August raising £352 for a new garden Bright Space at HMP Bronzefield in Surrey. Since 2019, Lucy and her nursery community have raised almost £7,000 for Bright Spaces with their fundraising efforts! Lucy said, "The walk was really good, extremely wet, and we were frozen by the end, but I absolutely loved doing it. I've just signed myself up for a 50km next April!" Thank you so much Lucy and Gosia, and well done for completing the challenge! #100brightspaces #makeadifference #fundraising

This time last week, a fantastically nostalgic fundraising event took place, inspired by the iconic Raleigh Chopper bicycles of the 1970s. The Chopper Challenge was born out of Amanda Gackowska's passion for the Raleigh Chopper, a bike that symbolised freedom and adventure for a generation. Starting with just a single Chopper, this passion soon turned into a collection of eight bikes, each with its own story and character. "Growing up, I always coveted my brother’s Tomahawk bike." said Amanda, Facilities Manager at Bright Horizons UK. "When my partner surprised me with a rusty old Chopper for Christmas, we painstakingly restored it and started a full-blown collection. When our Foundation launched the ‘100 Your Way’ fundraiser, it became the perfect opportunity to put these bikes to good use and raise money. Riding the bikes reminded us of the freedom and fun of our own childhoods so it felt right to get them back on the road and raising money for another generation of children who deserve safe places to learn and play." Amanda and a team of 8 took on 100 miles on the classic bikes around Willen Lakes in Milton Keynes. Bright Horizons Health and Safety mascot Candy Floss also made an appearance! (Can you guess who it is?) The team raised an incredible £3,687 for Bright Spaces! Huge thanks to Amanda and the team, and everyone who so generously sponsored them, your funds will make a material difference to the children and families we support. #100brightspaces #makeadifference #fundraising #charity
