e50K

e50Ks uniform swap shop is now open for the summer! It's a fantastic opportunity to exchange, donate, and pick up items for FREE, in beautiful surroundings at Bramble Woods. In Catterick Garrison, the turnover of school starters and leavers is high. Last-minute postings for military families often lead to a frantic scramble for uniforms, and previous uniforms going to waste. We have a lot of nearly new uniform looking for a new home! Clothes swapping is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to reduce waste, minimise the build-up of harmful chemicals in our surroundings and give wardrobes a new lease of life without spending a penny ♻️ #bethechange #communityswap #reducewaste

Delivering community spirit for Defence Families SEKO have a keen interest in supporting strong integrated communities and this includes partnering with e50K Communities to help the UKs Defence community. On Saturday 20th July SEKO Logistics funded an historical learning event at e50Ks Bramble Woods. Teaming up with the Rusticas Theatre Company, Catterick Historical Achieves and local volunteers (with a special mention to Dan Boatright Greene) to deliver intergenerational activities to over 100 people across 3 sessions - including one session to 33 individuals with special educational needs (SEN) "I could never take my children to a theatre because of my sons complex needs - it just wouldn’t work. Today has really met my sons' sensory needs and been a great day for the rest of the family!" Thank you SEKO Logistics for your valued support.

Last year Viking Arms supported us with an £18,000 donation to the Bramble Woods Site in Catterick. Partnering with organisations such as Viking Police & Military is vital to allow us to continue doing the work we do. We couldn't make the impact on the Armed Forces Community we do without support from such amazing organisations. Thank you to Viking from all the e50K team Elizabeth Newman-Earl (PhD)Rachael LaddAmy Manuel Sophie Froud Sam MacArthur

On Sunday we hosted our first Armed Forces Day event, a Community Picnic with a 1940s Singer. Over 140 people turned up to enjoy the sunshine including local families, ITC Recruits, our volunteers, e50K Craft Club and Neurodiverse Community Catterick who brought their extraordinary sensory tent. It went better than we could have possibly imagined and it will now be a firm fixture on our annual event programme. It will be the only Armed Forces Day Community event taking place in Catterick this year and we were honoured to be able to commemorate and celebrate the Armed Forces Community. Well done to our fabulous Site Manager, Navy Veteran and Army Spouse Amy Manuel who has been passionate about this event for the last 12 month and has worked tirelessly to put on a brilliant day for the community. #armedforcesday #community #armedforcescommunity #bethechange #wearethechange Elizabeth Newman-Earl (PhD) Quincey Katie Ankrett, APMP, CPRachael Ladd Sophie Froud
