UKO Group To Take On Tough Mudder Challenge for Charity

UKO Group is uniting its team to take on the Yorkshire Tough Mudder challenge on 26 July for a range of charities close to their teams heart.

The team will take on the notoriously grueling obstacle course this summer, tackling some of the world’s most intense obstacle courses that test physical strength, determination and mental grit, all whilst battling mud!

Half of team UKO Group are taking on the 5k challenge that has 12+ obstacles and the other, with the “braver” half are taking on the 15k route with 20+ obstacles.

All funds raised through this challenge will support a variety of charitable organisations, including: Action For Children, Andy’s Man Club, Cancer Research UK, Dementia UK, Make A Wish Foundation UK, Mental Health Foundation, RNIB, Royal British Legion, The Football Foundation and Weston Park Hospital.

Each have been chosen for their vital work in areas such as mental health, children’s welfare, environmental sustainability, and community development.

Ella Glover, Group Operations and Special Projects, is heading up the initiative. She said: “At UKO Group, we believe in pushing boundaries and pushing ourselves to do the best job we can.

“The Tough Mudder challenge is a great reminder that life throws all kinds of challenges at us. Taking it on as a team, getting muddy, and doing it for a good cause is our way of showing up for the people and communities that need us most.”

The initiative is part of UKO Group’s broader commitment to corporate social responsibility and employee engagement.

The group has set an ambitious fundraising target and is welcoming donations through its official campaign page: UKO Group Gets Muddy | givestar
