Huntsmill Farm’s Pop-Up-Pub Supports BuDS

Ben Clark

Huntsmill Farm is a farm wedding venue in the north of Buckinghamshire. In June, they put on a Pop-Up-Pub to help raise money for BuDS. Pop-Up-Pubs are local community events allowing locals to come and have a drink and a bit of food in the venue whilst supporting a local charity.

BuDS was delighted to receive nearly £800 from Huntsmill Farm. We will use this money to support disabled people all over Bucks. Thank you so much to Huntsmill Farm and to everyone who attended the Pop-Up-Pub and gave so generously!

Back in the Saddle – Land’s End to John o’Groats

Back in 2013, apart from having a few allergies and intolerances I was a healthy, energetic, and fit individual who was always on the go and nothing stopped me.  I would think nothing of going for a 110-length swim, then a 6 mile walk and then going for a 20-mile bike ride with the family later in the day.  Our summer holiday that year involved the whole family cycling 222km along the C2C, Whitehaven to Tynemouth route.  It was a fantastic holiday of fresh air, sunshine, adventure and great companionship.  It wasn’t without its challenges though, especially as my 12-year-old daughter came off her bike really badly on the second to last day.  The pair of us ended up in A&E having her concussion treated.  However, after patching her up, cobbling together replacement clothing, purchasing a new cycle helmet and getting the ‘all clear’ from the doctors, we re-joined my husband and son and completed the final leg of the route the next day.
