Mastered graduate Mike Davis to swim 10 miles for the Cherry Groce Foundation
If you’re reading this on Friday 29th August, Mastered graduate Mike Davis will be partway through a 10-mile swim along the Devon coast, braving the English Channel to raise money for the Cherry Groce Foundation, founded by fellow Mastered graduate and John Stopford Scholarship recipient, Lee Lawrence.
Mike has previously taken on charity swims of the same nature in support of The Mississippi Center for Justice and Surfers Against Sewage, raising money for both organisations to help make a difference.

From chairing meetings to cycling to Paris, support Mastered graduate Jon Hayes
In September, Mastered Alum Jon Hayes will be leaving the boardroom (and his glamping festival glitter) to ride his bike alongside 35 colleagues taking part in a 450km, 3-day cycling journey from London to Paris.
They are taking on this challenge in support of their long-standing global charity partner, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, who provide critical aid, defend human rights, and helps people rebuild their lives in safety. Currently, over 100 million people have been forcibly displaced, and this number will double by 2050. Their ride is about more than endurance – it’s about standing in solidarity with displaced communities around the world.
If you’d like to support Jon and his colleagues to help UNHCR’s life-changing work, you can donate here →
