Cooke Curtis & Co - Swim the Channel Challenge

We’re Swimming the Channel (in a Pool!) - And We Need Your Support. After years of thinking about it, we’re deflating our water wings and finally taking the plunge - literally.


We’re Swimming the Channel (in a Pool!) - And We Need Your Support. After years of thinking about it, we’re deflating our water wings and finally taking the plunge - literally.

The team at Cooke Curtis & Co is proud to be launching our “Swim the Channel Challenge” in support of the Arthur Rank Hospice Charity, a charity very close to heart, which provides vital care and end-of-life support for people across our community facing life-limiting illnesses. Thanks to the brilliant team at David Lloyd Gyms, who are hosting the event and generously offering access to their pool and coaching support, our challenge is now officially underway.

The goal? Swim the length of the English Channel - 1,360 lengths of a 25m pool in one morning, as a team.

We’ll be swimming in October, but the training starts now. Some of us haven’t swum more than a few lengths in years, but we’re all committed to doing our bit — whether that’s 5, 50, or 100 lengths. Every single length counts. Our fundraising target is £5,000, and with your help, we know we can reach (or beat!) it.

How you can help: Sponsor us! Every donation makes a difference and goes directly to Arthur Rank Hospice Charity. Share our story on social media to help us spread the word.

This is more than a fitness challenge. It’s about pushing ourselves, supporting a cause that means a great deal to us, and showing what a small local business can do when it comes together with its community. We’ll be posting regular updates on our training and fundraising progress, so keep an eye on our social media.

For years, the property world has sung from the same hymn sheet: “Wait for spring to sell.” The days get longer, the daffodils bloom, and everything looks a little more photogenic. But Cambridge doesn’t play by the same rules.

At Cooke Curtis & Co, we’ve always believed that great lettings management comes from knowledge, preparation, and care. That’s why we’re already making sure we’re Renters’ Act Ready, so that our landlords and tenants can transition smoothly and confidently into the new system.

For the sixth year running, we’re very proud to be supporting the Arthur Rank Hospice Charity Christmas Tree Recycling Scheme, a brilliantly simple idea that turns old Christmas trees into vital funds for an incredible local cause.

What. A. Day. The Duxford Soap Box Derby did it again — another brilliantly bonkers day of homemade engineering, high-speed bravery, and pure community spirit.
