Story

We are thrilled to be entering into the MYWiSH Charity Soapbox Race for our third year running.

In 2022, our skilled joiners worked hard to create a replica of our famous yellow and red Clarkes truck ready for the event in September. Our replica definitely wooed the crowds but unfortunately, we missed out on the race title. That being said, we didn't go home empty handed and were awarded two trophies for 'Overall Winners' and 'Best Fundraisers'.

Last year we entered the race with 1st place in mind, and therefore crafted our vehicle 'Meccano', pulling out every mechanical trick in the book to make it our fastest entry to date. We were delighted to fly our way over the finish line and be awarded 'Fastest Soapbox' and 'Best Fundraiser' on the day!

This year, the team have completely transformed last years' Soapbox and created a Clarkes 'Mad Max' themed car ready for race day - where we hope to raise as much money as possible, and bring home some trophies once again 🏁

The work done by My WiSH Charity enhances the care that patients at the West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust receive. Raising money to enhance the care our community receives is vital, and that's why they need our help.

Any contributions to our fundraising efforts are incredibly appreciated, whether it be a donation, or coming down and support the team on race day.

This year's event date is Saturday 31st August 2024 and we would love to invite you all to come and support us!
