The Challenge

For one day only, we’re shutting down PowerPoint and putting Shalin’s abacus to one side, to take the fight to the water – in the Trussell Trust Dragon Boat Challenge.

We’ve assembled a crack team of amateur paddlers (see below) and we’re raring to go.

As well as finding motivation from beating our fellow colleagues and competitors, the money we're able to raise will go towards a super important cause.

Vodafone partners with the Trussell Trust as part of its everyone.connected campaign to tackle digital exclusion. For people negatively affected by the digital divide in the UK, it’s difficult to complete everyday tasks, such as accessing online learning or staying in touch with loved ones. And the money we raise will help the network of food banks provide practical support to people on the lowest incomes, and to campaign for a future where none of us need to use a food bank to get by.

Plus, for every £2 you donate, you'll get 1x entry into our raffle, with a chance to win some incredible prizes like an iPhone 15 Pro (Refurbished) worth £938! So please donate if you can! (Last entry for raffle is 5th June).
