Getting CAKED
In support of Hull and East Yorkshire Children's University

Becker UK colleagues, Paula, Tim and Martin, took on East Yorkshire's muddiest challenge in a bid to raise money for our charity partner.

Set the scene - a beautiful sunny (albeit windy) Saturday in April. We are in the picturesque Yorkshire countryside and surrounded by hundreds of seasoned runners, all participating in the annual 'Get CAKED' race which supports local charities from across the region.

Taking on the muddiest eight-kilometre obstacle race in East Yorkshire, we are delighted that our team of avid runners has exceeded our target, raising over £300.00 for our charity partner, Hull and East Yorkshire Children's University.

A great achievement for our team members and supporters - we would like to take this opportunity to "thank you"!

About Hull and East Yorkshire Children's University:

Hull and East Yorkshire (HEY) Children’s University is a charity that strives to give every child the opportunities they deserve, no matter what circumstances they were born into.

Many children around Hull do not share the same opportunities that other children have in the UK. With a staggering one in three children in the area growing up in poverty, many have never been much further than the street in which they live - whilst some children will never visit another city until they reach adulthood.

Because of this, some children simply do not have dreams for the future.

HEY Children’s University believes that every child is brilliant at something, but how can those children find out their unique talents if they don’t have the opportunity to try new things? This is where they step in.
