The Acorn Analytical Services team has announced an ambitious charity challenge for 2025!
Those based at the Northampton office have pledged to complete 10 charity events during 2025 to support its three charities – Cynthia Spencer Hospice, Mesothelioma UK and Muscular Dystrophy UK.
The three charities have been chosen by the team and they all hold a special place in their hearts for various reasons.
Locally, Acorn has been supporting Northampton-based Cynthia Spencer Hospice for a number of years, most notably raising more than £5,000 for the charity last year by undertaking the Three Peaks Challenge.
Mesothelioma UK is another charity, which has been supported by Acorn for several years. Mesothelioma UK supports people living with or affected by mesothelioma, a cancer caused by exposure to asbestos.
Lastly, Muscular Dystrophy UK was selected to support our colleague, Sarah Seal, who has two sons living with Muscular Dystrophy. You can read Sarah’s story here.
What 10 events does the charity challenge consist of?
Head of commercial Sian Stone will team up with Ben Simpson and Lewis Dawes to kick off the activities with a parachute jump, swiftly followed by Liam Wood and Noah Woodward in an Ultra White Collar Boxing event in April.
In May, Lois Ashby, Holly Singleton and Sarah Seal will take on the London Moonwalk and the company will also enter a team in the Northampton Dragon Boat Festival.
June sees Danielle and Gen from Acorn Analytical’s lab team take on Cynthia Spencer’s annual Northampton Colour Run and Viviana Pista and Abbie Bruce will be abseiling down the Northampton Lift Tower.
In July, Dan Crask, Richard Crockett, Joseph Bell and Alex will brave the Pretty Muddy and August boasts the first ever Acorn coffee morning, in which the keen bakers and cooks will be knocking up some delicious treats to sell.
Finally, in September, Joshua Cannell and Alex will complete the Northampton Half Marathon before Dan takes on a gruelling 100 miles in 24 hours attempt.
The Acorn team hope to raise £6,000 in total, to be split across the three charities.
