To raise funds for Chestnut Tree House, Oceanair’s stores supervisor took part in the Great North Run.

In addition to these fundraising events, a hardy team set out from Maidstone to Brighton in September, each running legs of the course non-stop over two days to complete the Reebok Ragnar White Cliffs Event.
