And a special shout-out to the Wooden Spoon Winner, Unmasked Mental Health—there’s always next year!
Emma and Jess from St. George’s Crypt kept spirits high (and thirsts quenched) as they cruised around on the drink’s buggy, while John and Jean from Zarach added extra fun with a course challenge.
The energy was amazing, and everyone showed incredible support for both The One Point and Prosper Wakefield. Thanks to everyone who participated, we can’t wait to see you again next year!
Devils Kitchen 2025
On September 25th, the TOP team stepped into the heat of the kitchen for the launch of Devil’s Kitchen, all in support of the incredible work of the Hey Smile Foundation.
The event brought together friendly competition, delicious food, and plenty of laughter as The One Point faced off against Wilkin Chapman Rollits. With a final score of 29/30 vs 29.8/30, Wilkin Chapman Rollits narrowly took the win—but with such a close result, we’re already calling for a rematch!
Most importantly, the event raised an amazing £3,433 for the Hey Smile Foundation, helping to support local causes and community initiatives.
A huge thank you to everyone who took part and made the night unforgettable.
Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice: Dragon Boat Race
A huge congratulations to the We Are Wakefield Team and our very own Rob Pinder for braving the elements and taking part in the Dragon Boat Races 2025 in support of Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice.
Despite the appalling weather, the team’s spirit never wavered. Soaked to the skin and shivering, they powered through three races—losing the first with a time of 58.71 seconds, but bouncing back to win the second and third with impressive times of 51.80 and 47.77 seconds.
Their determination paid off, raising over £700 for the charity. A fantastic effort from everyone involved!
Macmillan Coffee Morning 2025
We were proud to support Macmillan Cancer Support with our Coffee Morning Fundraiser. Every slice, sip, and smile helped make a meaningful difference.
Thanks to the generosity of everyone who baked or bought treats, we raised just over £170 for this incredible cause. Any contributions go directly towards helping those affected by cancer.
Our recent activities highlight the strength of our community, and the difference collective effort can make. From close competitions and determined dragon boat teams to a successful coffee morning, every event contributed directly to local charities. Thank you to everyone who took part, donated, or supported these initiatives—your involvement is what made each event a success. We look forward to building on this momentum in the next few months.
