### We were delighted and proud to support The Capital Challenge in London when our colleagues Bob Beswick, Wendy Barr, Sam Laird and Colin Maskill attended Finsbury Barracks in London for a fantastic charity rugby league and military engagement event.

 

It was great to hear stories from two rugby league legends, Paul Sculthorpe MBE and Jamie Jones Buchanan, as well as the estimable Pete Emmett.

The event began with St Helens vs  the British Army and featured fundraising activities for the Royal British Legion and Motor Neurone Disease Association, and it was wonderful to see people did deep for such important causes.
