Partly that reflects our holistic approach to branding, but it’s also about what drives us: our commitment to helping the environment and supporting local communities, as well as working with a fantastic, passionate team.  So what does our fantastic, passionate team do in their spare time? We run half marathons for amazing charities at the weekend - no biggie!  And that’s why we always want to share the awesome fundraising achievements from our team - this week, we’re sharing an absolutely fantastic update from our office in Plymouth! [See how else Fluid loves to give back](https://www.fluidbranding.com/fluid-futures)   ### Ben & Brad’s Half Marathon Madness On the 2nd May, Senior Merchandise Consultant Ben Trim and Merchandise Consultant Bradley Fredericks (the founding two members of our Plymouth Office Running Club FYI!) ran a half marathon with the hopes of raising £500 for St. Luke’s Hospice in Plymouth.  *“The race day was pretty perfect,”* said Ben. *“After spending the last few months running 1-2 times a week to increase our fitness and overall stamina, we were definitely excited for the big day!”* *“And we had a lot of support from colleagues and family in the crowds,” added Bradley, “which gave us a much-needed boost 4 miles in!” ![Ben Trim charity St. Lukes 3](https://insights.fluidbranding.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Ben%20Trim%20charity%20St.%20Lukes%203.jpg?width=247&height=280&name=Ben%20Trim%20charity%20St.%20Lukes%203.jpg)* ### What is St. Luke’s Hospice Plymouth? [St. Luke’s Hospice Plymouth](https://www.stlukes-hospice.org.uk/about-us/) is an independent local charity in Plymouth, providing specialist care and support to those with progressive life-limiting illnesses in Devon & Cornwall. They believe that everyone has the right to quality end-of-life care, no matter where they are or what their situation is. St. Luke’s Hospice offers a range of services for individuals in need of end-of-life care, as well as support for their families and is supported by charitable donations that allow them to continue to provide a high standard of support to those that need it most.    ### Why St. Luke’s Hospice Plymouth? With plenty of worthy causes to choose from, Ben & Brad had personal reasons for wanting to support St. Luke’s Hospice: *“We chose St Luke's as they are a really well-respected charity here in Plymouth,” Ben said. “I personally know a few people who have had family members use their service and they’ve all said that the service they’ve provided was amazing.” ![Ben Trim charity St. Lukes-1](https://insights.fluidbranding.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Ben%20Trim%20charity%20St.%20Lukes-1.jpg?width=266&height=280&name=Ben%20Trim%20charity%20St.%20Lukes-1.jpg)* ### Fundraising success Both Brad and Ben absolutely smashed their £500 fundraising goal - raising an astonishing £1596.44 in total, backed by Fluid’s [Charity & Community Events Match Funding Scheme](https://www.fluidbranding.com/charitable-donations). Crossing the finish line together with a brilliant time of 2 hours 14 minutes, both thoroughly enjoyed their fundraising success.  *“Finally seeing both our partners at the finish line was an amazing way to finish the event,”* Brad said after finishing the 13 mile race. A specific highlight from Ben: *“Being able to actually go into the charity and meet the team and see directly where the money goes makes it all worth it, too!”* Congratulations again to you both!   ### It’s all about giving back We always want to encourage our Fluid Family to get involved with projects they feel passionate about.  That's why, as part of our [Fluid Futures](https://www.fluidbranding.com/fluid-futures) pillar group, we've set up a Charity & Community Events Match Funding Scheme. This means that funds raised by members of the Fluid team for charitable causes will get matched pound-for-pound by Fluid Branding. Boom!
