Several Tecknuovo members took part in the exciting Thames Water Raft Race last Thursday, September 23rd, to benefit WaterAid. The thrilling event challenges teams of six to build a raft and race down the River Thames. The annual event, which has been running for over twenty-two years, was sadly cancelled last year due to Covid but returned this year with a splash. Participants dressed in fancy dress competed in a fun obstacles course ahead of setting off on their rafts. This year’s race theme “Superheroes” honoured all the UK’s key-workers who’ve worked tirelessly through the pandemic.
Tecknuovo is proud to have supported the digital raft, led by Graham Lunt, and our very own delivery analyst Sebastian Crookall-Nixon joined the team rowing the raft in the race. The team dressed as Captain Sir Tom Moore who raised £33m for the NHS by walking laps of his garden. Each raft was tasked with fundraising for WaterAid, with a prize awarded for most money raised. As a company we donated £750 towards our raft’s fundraising target. We are honoured to have participated in such a fun event and support a charity with a great message.
“Being a part of such a fantastic event that supports a great cause is always a treat. We spend so much time remotely communicating with Stakeholders and our Associates and to have the opportunity to come together in person, strengthening those relationships, along with enjoying a fun day of activities to raise money for charity is so rewarding.” Sebastian Crookall-Nixon, Delivery Analyst
