GR8 would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to our recent Open Day, held in support of the Uttlesford Food Bank. The event brought together a diverse range of suppliers, local vendors, and our amazing community, resulting in an incredibly rewarding day that left us both proud and inspired.

Supporting a Worthy Cause

One of the main goals of our Open Day was to raise funds for the Uttlesford Food Bank, a vital service that helps local families in need. Thanks to the generosity of our visitors, we are thrilled to announce that we raised £470. This donation will go a long way in supporting the food bank’s efforts and providing essential supplies to those who need them most.

Amazing Local Vendors and Suppliers

Our Open Day wouldn't have been the same without the fantastic offerings from two highly-rated local food vendors Waffle & Co and Azure Wood Fired Pizza. These crowd favourites served up delicious treats throughout the day, making the event even more enjoyable for all attendees.

In addition to the culinary delights, we were honoured to host an impressive lineup of suppliers who showcased a range of high-quality products and equipment. Their involvement added a great deal of value to the day, and we are immensely grateful for their participation.

A massive thank you to:

A Day to Remember

The success of our Open Day wouldn't have been possible without the enthusiasm and support of everyone involved. From the visitors who came to experience the event, to the vendors and suppliers who showcased their impressive offerings, and of course, the team at GR8 for making it all happen, thank you.

The funds raised for the Uttlesford Food Bank mark a perfect conclusion to a wonderful day, and we look forward to hosting more community-focused events in the future.

GR8 Tool Hire Supports “7 Emirates Run 4 Autism”
GR8 Tool Hire is proud to support the incredible duo behind  @7emiratesrun4autism They’re aiming to raise a staggering £750,000 to create a game-changing app, website, and resources for Autism Awareness.

Their Mission: A Platform for Connection and Support
Their ambitious goal? To run the entire 7 emirates loop – a gruelling 579km in just 10 days! This project aims to create a much-needed online platform for families and the special needs community. This platform will be a safe space for connection, experience sharing, and support, free from judgment and isolation.

Beyond the Run: Our Commitment
The app will also provide valuable resources, including best practices on education tools, therapies, and nutrition, to empower families living with autism. In addition to supporting the runners, we at GR8 Tool Hire are dedicated to raising awareness. Several team members are participating in “Movember” for the cause, and we’ve donated an iPad and AirPods to be raffled off.
Together, We Can Make a Difference

We’ve already reached a fantastic £3,000 mark in donations, and we’re committed to hosting more fundraising events. Autism is a complex condition that affects people in many ways. However, a lack of understanding and general awareness still exists.

Join the Movement: Learn More and Donate
We encourage you to visit link to the “7 Emirates Run 4 Autism” GoFundMe page and learn more about these inspiring individuals taking on a monumental challenge – running the equivalent of 1.5 marathons per day, for 10 days, in the desert!

Building a Brighter Future for Autism
Many autistic children and their families struggle to find opportunities for connection and acceptance. We aim to change that. The funds raised will create an online platform specifically designed for autistic individuals and their families to connect, share experiences, and build a supportive community. We believe in fostering greater understanding – not just within the special needs community, but across society as a whole.
INTERNATIONAL MENS DAY 

At GR8 today we are celebrating all positive male role models out and the impact you have on family, friends and coworkers.

International Men’s Day celebrates the positive impact men have on society while emphasizing their well-being. It provides a platform to discuss critical issues like mental health, challenge stereotypes, and promote gender equality. By highlighting the importance of positive male role models and addressing societal pressures, the day encourages open dialogue and fosters support systems for men. Its ultimate goal is to create a more inclusive and compassionate world that values everyone’s contributions and happiness.
