Little Britain Challenge Cup present EMT with cheque for £20,300

It was with great pleasure that the EMT team attended a reception on Thursday night (21st Jan) where Patron Ellen MacArthur accepted a cheque on behalf of the Trust for £20,300, raised during the Little Britain Challenge Cup Sailing Regatta 2009. 

Back in 1998 Peter Thompson, Steve Green and Phil Davis, who were all consultants for the Little Britain Office Development on London Wall organised a yacht race to mark the end of the project. The original wager for the single race was the price of a dinner, 22 years later it is the biggest regatta in England after Cowes Week, and is easily the biggest European industry event.

However, LBCC is about so much more than a yacht race. Over the last 22 years LBCC has raised well over 1 million pounds for charity, and over the last five years provided the Trust with over £137,000 of support. We simply would not be where we are without LBCC.

A huge thanks to all those involved in LBCC, you make what we do possible.
