This May will see 48 members of the KB team undertake a 200km trek across five days spanning the firm’s three office locations. The challenge will kick off on Saturday 16th May from their Exeter office and finish on Wednesday 20th May at Mountbatten in Plymouth.

It’s a huge challenge but one which the team are confident will be a success with all staff members encouraged to get involved whether that be signing up for a whole 40km day or pledging their own distance ranging anything from 2-40km.

The challenge has been organised by Ryan Greensmith – Applications Analyst and Anthony McDowell – IT Support Assistant who foresaw the 200-year milestone as an opportunity to bring everyone together to make a difference.

Commenting on this, Anthony said: “Our legacy milestone provides an opportunity to recognise the collective effort that has shaped our organisation over two centuries. By taking on this challenge as a team, we aim to contribute positively to the community and highlight the values that continue to guide our work.”

Ryan added: “We are delighted to be organising the 200km challenge for the firm. It is a great opportunity to bring colleagues together, promote wellbeing, and ensure the challenge is inclusive for everyone.”

The firm are delighted to be taking on the challenge in aid of £4,000 for one of their chosen charity partners of the year, Torbay Communities.

Established following discussions with more than 100 voluntary sector representatives, The Torbay Community Development Trust (TCDT) was formed with the intention of making Torbay a place where all people feel included.  The Trust empowers communities, building on strengths and skills through Asset-Based Community Development.

Members from the Torbay Communities team will be joining KB trekkers on Sunday 17th May to cover the route between Babbacombe and Kingswear.

Speaking on the initiative, Tracey Cabache, Director of Torbay Communities said:

“We are grateful to Kitson Boyce for their fundraising efforts on our behalf in their landmark 200th year. They clearly understand the importance of strong communities and want to support us in bringing people together.”

The firm would be grateful for any support, whether that is through donations or spreading the message far and wide. If you would like to donate, please do so via the JustGiving page.
