Fluid’s recent Annual Company Conference saw the team coming together to reconnect after an uneasy 18 months for all. It was a great opportunity to let our hair down, dance the night away, see some familiar faces, meet a whole bunch of new ones, and get the chance to catch up with our amazing suppliers and key partners.

...but it wasn’t all partying and merchandise. With COP26 just around the corner, Fluid’s resolve to help people and planet is stronger than ever.

One of the sessions in the conference, led by Financial Controller Miranda Hope, saw groups of the Fluid Family getting together to find something we all had in common - and make a pledge of something we could do together related to that connection.

The groups all agreed that we wanted to do more - more specifically, to raise funds for a cause that shared our values. We also found that an ideal way to do this was to try to boost our fitness levels after a pretty dark time for the planet. So we made our pledge:

For every week of November in 2021, we will each cover 15 miles of ground to raise funds for the Marine Conservation Society.

The Marine Conservation Society is a UK-wide community of ocean lovers, all working together towards a vision of a sea full of life, where nature flourishes and people thrive. They fight for the future of the oceans through people-powered action - with a goal to recover the health of the ocean for the sake of wildlife, climate and our own wellbeing.

For a few of us, this level of activity hasn’t been a regular part of life for quite some time (!) - so it’s time to change that. And thanks to Fluid’s Charity & Community Project Match Funding, whatever money we raise will be matched by Fluid - doubling our donation!

If you’d like to help with our pledge, please feel free to donate to our JustGiving page - it really means a lot to us and to Marine Conservation Society.

Thank you :-)
