Month: May 2023

In April 2023, we ran our very first Pagabo Foundation football tournament at the Tigers Trust Arena. 8 teams battled it out to be crowned the champion and it’s fair to say all the teams gave it their all.

Our team, 55-A-Side, ended up topping the group after all of the matches were played, then it was time for the knockout stages. A poor performance from 55-A-Side resulted in a 5-0 loss to Faithful+Gould in the first semi-final. Meanwhile, Edge were victorious over Lindum Lincoln to advance through to the all-important final game.

After an end-to-end finale, Edge were able grind out a 4-2 win over Faithful+Gould to take home the trophy.

The main GOAL of the tournament was to raise money for the Pagabo Foundation and we did just that with an amazing total of £3,500. The money raised will go towards tackling the mental health issues that face the construction industry, so all donations were very much appreciated.

A big thank you to City Holdings, Henry Boot, Edge, Lindum Group, Faithful+Gould and Seddon for taking part!

On the 27^th of April 2023, we took on the Three Peaks in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Members from across The 55 Group and Pagabo trekked 24 miles over the famous peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough to raise important funds for the Pagabo Foundation. Most participants aim to complete the challenge in under 12 hours and we are proud that some members of the team completed the whole walk in just over 9, a hugely impressive achievement!

Challenges like the Yorkshire Three Peaks make it possible to raise the vital funds the Pagabo Foundation needs to support a variety of initiatives, which ultimately support the mental health issues that the construction industry face.

We’re delighted to say that we were able to raise over £4,264 through this challenge. We’d like to say a huge thank you and well done to everyone who took part, and give a special mention to those who helped to organise it.
