OCS marks its 125th anniversary with the launch of the “125 Challenge,” a week-long virtual event designed to unite colleagues, customers, and communities in movement and fundraising.
This initiative aims to generate vital support for the OCS Foundation and its partner charities, showcasing the company’s long-standing commitment to making a positive difference in people’s lives.
The 125 Challenge: Turning Movement into Impact
Taking place from 15 to 21 September, the 125 Challenge invites teams of up to five people to cover a virtual 125-mile route inspired by OCS’s rich heritage. This journey will highlight key locations from the company’s history and the partners it supports today. Any activity counts, whether walking, cycling, gardening, or everyday movement, all contributing to team progress along the route. Friendly competition is encouraged, with participants motivating each other towards the finish line.
Each participant is encouraged to raise £125 for the OCS Foundation, with all funds going directly to four partner charities that support children and young people.
Nikki Brown, Head of OCS Foundation, said: “I am so excited to see the 125 Challenge kick off. Fundraising activities like this are a brilliant way to bring people together for a good cause. The team format builds a real sense of unity, with a bit of friendly competition to keep things lively—all in support of four incredible charities doing important work. And because it’s in honour of OCS’s 125th anniversary, it feels even more special. I can’t wait to see all the different ways people rack up their mileage!”
