Bedford Blues
Putting a positive spin on successful charity event
Blues Foundation has announced that £4,812 was raised at Club Towers’ recent Charity Spinathon securing vital fundraising for two worthwhile Bedfordshire causes. Announced back in 2024, Blues Foundation and Primrose Car
Service were chosen as Charities of the Year for Club Towers with the spinathon the latest in a long line of fundraising activities. Speaking after the event, Head of Blues Foundation, Tom Harwood
said: “We are incredibly grateful for Club Towers members’ support, and I know both charities will be able to support local people through our services. T e funds will directly support young people from Bedford and inspire them to use sport in a positive way.” Over 50 members of Club Towers plus supporters and staff
from both charities took part across a fi ve-hour time slot, with 12 incredible individuals taking part in every available session – including Blues Foundation Trustee, Ross McKinley. Each member donated £20 for each class they rode, with some
members also asking friends and family for sponsorship to add to the total raised. Katy T omas, fi tness manager at Club Towers and one of the
organisers for the event, said: “T is is our fi fth spinathon and every time it just gets better and better. T e enthusiasm and energy our members bring, along with their amazing costumes, really helps everyone keep going.
“Having representatives from the charities really helped remind
us of what we are doing it for. We are ecstatic to have raised so much. T ank you to everyone involved.” Bedford Blues Media Manager, Ryan Robinson – who also took
part on the day – added: “It’s always incredibly fulfi lling to help Blues Foundation in their fundraising eff orts to ensure the continuation and development of key activation projects supporting people in our community. “It was an incredibly heartwarming day, seeing everyone
supporting two worthwhile causes. As someone who has seen fi rst- hand the impact that can be achieved within Bedfordshire thanks to a fundraising total such as this, I’m excited to see again how much we can make a positive diff erence through the power of sport.” Stay tuned to the Blues Foundation social media pages and
