I'm excited to share that a small group of us from DST including Mitchell Jackson, Shane Bennett, Dafydd Williams, Reece Devaney and myself are taking on the Hardwolds 40 challenge on July 5th, 2025. This intense 47-mile run from Beverley to Malton will push us to our mental and physical limits, all to raise funds for two incredible charities. Your donations and support for this event would mean the world to us.

M.A.S.H (Military Assistance Social Hub)

M.A.S.H hubs in East Yorkshire combat social isolation by offering safe social spaces, well-being activities and essential support for Armed Forces community, including assistance with transitions, housing, education, health services and financial needs, they provide immediate crisis support and signpost individuals and families to additional resources, to address both immediate and long-term needs.

M.A.S.H provides a secure social space where veterans and current serving families can confidently access support. The Hubs offer a range of inclusive events and activities, ensuring no one is left behind.

Tommy’s Lounge & Voice

At Tommy's Lounge, we create a safe and welcoming haven where Veterans and their families can connect, heal, and thrive. Carefully designed with the needs of those affected by PTSD in mind, our coffee lounge features cozy seating, strategically placed with walls behind sofas to provide a sense of security and peace. It’s more than just a place for food and beverages, it’s where friendships are rekindled, family gatherings are celebrated, and meaningful conversations unfold.

Through Tommy's Voice, our charity extends this mission, giving Veterans and their loved ones the support they need to navigate life beyond service. From housing and employment to benefits, Veteran ID cards, and pension applications, we provide the tools and guidance to empower the Armed Forces Community. Together, Tommy's Lounge and Tommy's Voice offer a powerful blend of comfort and practical assistance, helping to rebuild lives and foster a brighter future. Your sponsorship makes this life-changing work possible, honouring their sacrifices and making a real difference in the lives of those who served.

Training has already started and your support can make a real difference. Please feel free to track our progress on our personal Strava accounts and join us in backing these heroes and their mission!
