33km. Nine hours. One brilliant cause.

On Friday 11 September, four members of the BPC team took on the 2026 ProperTrek in support of the NSPCC.

BPC’s Marie Kemp, Karly Mills, Sam Reeve and Lavinia Zaharia joined Richard Goddard of Overbury and fellow industry colleagues for a 33km walk across London, starting at Canary Wharf at 9am and reaching Wembley at 6pm.

Together, our 14-person team of project partners raised an incredible £9,130 for the NSPCC. This money will help the charity to make a huge difference to its work supporting children and young people, including funding its Helpline for anyone worried about a child’s mental health or wellbeing.

Thank you so much to everyone who took part, as well as those who donated or were there to support the team along the way. We’re proud to have taken part and shared wonderful day with some very inspiring people!
