Meet September’s fantastic fundraisers

We are beyond grateful for the fundraising efforts of four fantastic members of staff this September! 

Rebecca and Susie from Seaton Library took on a whopping three-day, 80-mile cycling challenge, exploring the beautiful English countryside and Somerset villages. Met with friendship and kindness along the way, they braved the rain and completed the 80-mile adventure, helping to raise money for Libraries Unlimited to reduce literacy inequalities, combat social inequality, and help develop skills for life. 

Our Performance Reporting and Data Manager, Andy, walked 100km continuously along the picturesque Thames Path to raise funds. In an outstanding feat of endurance, he walked for 29 hours, raising over £1,200! 

Kevin, our Stock and Reader Development Manager, and his brother-in-law Stephen walked coast to coast along the Two Moors Way, a challenging 117-mile route that spans from Wembury to Lynmouth, through the dramatic landscapes of Dartmoor and Exmoor. An immense journey that involved over 3,400m of elevation, they self-navigated through horrendous and tricky terrain. “The weather didn’t do us any favours, but it’s amazing how having a pub at the end of each stage can keep you going. I didn’t realise quite how hilly Devon is—and how much I hate cows!”

Thank you to all our passionate fundraisers who braved bad weather, immense challenges, and scary cows to raise money. You inspire us all here at Libraries Unlimited to continue our mission of bringing ideas, imagination, creativity, and knowledge to enrich lives and build thriving communities.
