Reconomy Trade sponsors Band of Builders at the Great Dunmow Soapbox Race 2022

Reconomy Trade proudly sponsored Band of Builders for the 2022 return of the UK’s largest independent soapbox race. The popular race raises money for exceptional local charities and was attended by around 20,000 spectators. It is expected to raise around £40,000 for charity this year.

Over 40 soapboxes attended along with Band of Builders to battle it out and be crowned champion, all whilst raising money. The team at Band of Builders worked incredibly hard on their creative soapbox which was designed based on a skip. Three of the team faced the jumps and obstacles against the clock in their hand-built ‘skip’, with impressive times of 49, 40, and 36 seconds achieved between them.

Through generous donations on Go Fund Me and a collection pot at the races, £740 was raised for the Band of Builders charity. Band of Builders is a registered national charity that provides practical assistance through life-enhancing projects for members of the UK Construction industry and their families who are faced with life-changing or limiting circumstances.
