Bryan Clover, chairman and CEO of the Rainy Day Trust charity, is getting set to tackle a massive hike in a bid to raise money for those in need. 

Stax Trade Centres has been a long-term supporter of the Rainy Day Trust DIY industry charity, annually raising thousands to help those within our industry who have worked hard all their life when they fall in times of need.

On 17th and 18th September, Bryan plans to hike from Bristol to London non-stop in 48 hours.  That’s 84 miles carrying a massive amount of water and everything else that he will need along the way, only stopping to top up water. The pack will weigh in excess of 40lbs.

"Before the delightful virus, in 2018 I hiked 27 miles a day for a week along the cliff paths of Cornwall and in 2019 I hiked 53.4 miles in 24 hours, so I decided to up the proverbial ante," said Bryan. 

"My hope is that this will be the biggest fundraising event of 2021 for us and will help us to meet the ever-growing pressure for our help," he added.

The Rainy Day Trust is the only charity which exists solely to help people who have worked in the UK’s home improvement and enhancement industry. Anybody interested in sponsoring Bryan’s efforts should contact him on bryan@rainydaytrust.org.uk.
