Scott Day Marathon 2026 — He Did It!
Scott Day, a building surveyor from Hornchurch, has completed the London Marathon in an incredible 4 hours and 51 minutes — and in doing so, raised a phenomenal £2,072 for The Communi-Tea Circle.
Scott ran every one of those 26.2 miles in memory of his nan June, who he lost in late 2024. Having seen first-hand how loneliness could creep in even when family support was present, Scott wanted to do something meaningful — and he has delivered in style.
Every pound he has raised will help us continue hosting regular social gatherings for elderly people across Hornchurch, Upminster and the surrounding areas, providing a warm and welcoming space for those who need it most.
A huge thank you to Scott, and to everyone who donated and cheered him on. What an achievement!
If you’d still like to support Scott’s fundraiser, it’s not too late — every donation continues to make a real difference to someone’s day.
And if you feel inspired to give your time as well as your money, we’re still recruiting volunteer drivers, hosts and coordinators. Click here for more details and to apply.
Three Peaks Challenge: 20th July 2025
Ivan Corsby Personal Training and a dedicated team from Edge Gym took on the ultimate test of endurance in July 2025: The Three Peaks Challenge.
An arduous test of physical and mental endurance, The Three Peaks Challenge involves conquering the summit of the highest mountains of Scotland, England, and Wales within a 24-hour window. This formidable undertaking includes Ben Nevis (1,345m), Scafell Pike (978m), and Snowdon (1,085m), encompassing a total walking distance of approximately 23 miles (37km) and a cumulative ascent of around 3,000 meters (9,800 feet).
Beyond the sheer physical strain of the climbs themselves, the challenge incorporates the significant driving time between each mountain, requiring meticulous planning and efficient time management. Participants must contend with varying terrain, unpredictable weather conditions, and the need for sustained stamina, making it a truly demanding but rewarding feat.
We’re so thankful the team chose to fundraise for The Communi-Tea Circle.
Despite various injuries, sore limbs, countless steps, and many missed hours of sleep, they successfully completed the challenge raising an amazing £2.1k in donations. With gift aid, the total raised for the Communi-Tea Circle is a staggering £2,557.50!
We couldn’t be prouder and more thankful to all involved.
A huge well done to the entire team – Ivan Corsby, Pumi Suphawan, Liam O’Connor, Danny Coyle, Barrie Snow, Aimee Millie, Chelsea Sharp and Amy Coleman.
