Rockinghorse Children’s Charity
Our wonderful Oakley Trio recently took on the challenge of a skydive to raise money for the Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) in the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath.
Thanks to their bravery, The Trio and our executive chairman Chris Oakley were able to present Rockinghorse Children's Charity's corporate fundraising manager Amanda Hetherington with a cheque for over £2,300.

Lewes Open Door Homeless Charity
Chris Oakley's Bonkers Jungle Challenge!
The challenge took place between 28th May and 11th June 2022 and saw Chris, along with a like-minded small group of local businesspeople, paddle boarding around 25km per day and camping each night in the jungle.
This unusual challenge saw the team become the first people to paddle board a 240km stretch of the Peruvian Amazon, known as ‘The Jungle of Mirrors’ (The Pacaya Samiria National Reserve).
Chris decided to do this for a local Lewes homeless charity called Open Door and any donations would be greatly appreciated.
