THEY'VE DONE IT! πŸ„β€β™€οΈπŸŽ‰πŸ’™

After three incredible days, Loren and Sheri have completed their mammoth challenge of paddle boarding all the way from Oxford to Windsor!

Covering an amazing distance of over 100km, they have shown determination, resilience and an unwavering commitment to supporting the Brigands every step (or paddle!) of the way.

A huge thank you to Loren and Sheri, and to everyone at First Technology, for taking on this challenge and helping us continue creating opportunities through inclusive rugby. We couldn't be more grateful for your support.
Please join us in congratulating these absolute superstars! πŸ‘πŸ’™

THEY'VE DONE IT! β›³πŸŒοΈβ€β™€οΈπŸͺ©πŸ₯³
The wonderful team, Darryl, Donny and Joe, from First Technology have completed their 24-hour golfing challenge in support of the Berkshire Brigands.
24 hours of continual golfing at Burford Golf Club, 81,000 steps, and a marathon and a quarter later, the team were welcomed to the finish by our founder Kate and one of our brilliant team members, Malakai!
The dedication, resilience and support shown by these three has been nothing short of incredible. Taking on a challenge of this scale to help us continue creating opportunities for young people is something we are hugely grateful for.
From everyone at the Berkshire Brigands, thank you to Darryl, Donny and Joe, and to everyone at First Technology for believing in our mission and going above and beyond to support it.
Challenges like this help us continue to provide life-changing experiences, build confidence, develop skills and create opportunities for the young people we work with.
Please join us in congratulating them on an amazing achievement! πŸ‘β›³πŸ’™

Darryl, Donny and Joe have played all through the night, using glowing golf balls in the dark and catching the 4.30am sunrise, all to support the Brigands with their 24hr golf challenge. They have covered the distance of a marathon and are still going! β›³πŸŒοΈβ€β™€οΈ

This incredible display of endurance will culminate in them playing the final hole at 11.45.

We are so proud of the team and so grateful that they are pushing themselves to the limit to support what we do πŸ’šπŸ’œ

Today is World Down Syndrome Day πŸ’™πŸ’›

At the Berkshire Brigands, we’re proud to be part of a game that brings people together β€” where everyone belongs, and everyone plays their part.

Mixed ability rugby is about more than sport.
It’s about friendship, confidence, and creating a space where every individual is valued.

Today, and every day, we celebrate our players, our community, and everything that makes this team what it is.
