Our 2025 charity

This year, we’ve continued to support the local community with our nominated charity, Tommy’s, the pregnancy and baby charity.

Over the past year, the Torpedo team has thrown themselves into a variety of activities to support our amazing chosen charity. From taking part in sponsored challenges and joining in with fun office events, to generously giving their time and donations, everyone has played a part in backing this incredibly worthy cause. Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to in 2025:  

Tommy’s 8k a day: Throughout March, the team committed to walking at least 8,000 steps daily for the “Tommy’s 8k a day” challenge. A modest goal that proved surprisingly demanding once balanced against desk-based jobs and busy schedules. Undeterred, the team embraced the challenge, hitting an impressive peak average of 12,119 daily steps.  

Cotswold Way Ultra Challenge: On a hot Saturday at the end of June, our Torpedo team completed a 24 km (15 mile) segment of the Cotswold Way Challenge – walking from Cirencester to Painswick, through woodlands, rolling hills, open fields and picturesque villages. Despite blisters, steep climbs and soaring temperatures, the group stayed motivated with teamwork, encouragement, and short pub stop(!) – arriving at the finish line together. 

Move It Challenge – winter edition: Our much-loved Move It Challenge returned this year with the Golds taking on the Blues in a team challenge. The winning team was the one that racked up the most ‘move minutes’ across the month of November. Golds took the crown with a mega total of 343 hours, 38 minutes, and 57 seconds!  

But not all of us like to be quite so energetic(!) so, the Torpedo team also arranged in-office sweepstakes for Eurovision & the Euros. Plus, we ran a deliciously spooky bake-off competition and we have a Christmas jumper day gathering coming up too! 

So far, we’ve raised…

Currently the total monies raised for our charity is over £1,800!! 

If like us, you believe this is a worthy cause – but you haven’t had chance to donate yet – then don’t worry there’s still time! 

Thank you!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has sponsored us, taken part, and/or arranged these events and activities. We’re proud to have supported this wonderful charity that’s close to our team’s hearts. And we’re chuffed to have smashed our donation target (by nearly double)!
