Sam’s story
At 9:30 on Sunday, 24th September Oxbury bank colleagues are running the Farndon 10k to raise money for 2023 charity, The Country Trust.
The Country Trust is the UK’s leading national educational charity which works to connect children from areas of high social and economic disadvantage with the land that sustains us all. Oxbury recognises that supporting the younger generation to gain knowledge and experience will support the long-term outlook of the agricultural industry.
Nearly 1/3 of our work force have signed up to participate, each with a broad range of running abilities, some having never run before to others who have previously completed great distances and are looking to improve their times - whatever the reason it’s fantastic they are participating in this team event for a worthwhile cause. Ash Armstrong, from OPH Optimal Performance and Health and Oxbury’s Health and Wellbeing Officer, will be supporting throughout the course of training by organising group runs and training plans and will be running on the day.
Oxbury will be encouraging this group event by paying each runner’s entry fee, providing 2 Oxbury branded running tops and by donating a bank match in sponsorship of up to the value of £10k.
