Winners revealed below…

At the start of July, our 24 teams embarked on the colossal challenge of getting as far Around the World as possible, whilst visiting the Seven Wonders along the way. Participants could walk, run, swim or cycle to gain their miles, which were then combined with the members in their teams to move their team along the virtual map.

The month long Virtual Race Around the World has now come to an end and we’re delighted with the efforts put in by our teams to rack up the miles and fundraise for Springboard!

A massive well done to all of our winners and everyone who participated, and a huge thank you to our Sponsors and the companies who donated their generous prizes.

This year’s Virtual Race raised over £82,000 (including GiftAid), beating last year’s Virtual Race total by a whopping £18,000!

The incredible total will go towards supporting young, unemployed, and disadvantaged people to find great jobs in the hospitality industry.

If you haven’t already donated and would like to, the JustGiving page is open until the end of August. You can donate here.
