On Saturday 14th September, a team of 23 Inflexion employees and 57 participants from 9 Inflexion portfolio companies completed the Impetus Triathlon. Through the generosity of Inflexion’s portfolio companies and valued network, the Inflexion team and portfolio companies raised a combined total of £80,000.  The fundraising was matched by Inflexion Foundation, reaching a total of £160,000, once again making Inflexion the highest fundraiser for the Impetus triathlon.  Over the last eight years, Inflexion has raised nearly £1.5m for Impetus by fundraising for the triathlon event. 

 Impetus transforms the lives of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds by ensuring they get the right support to succeed in school, in work and in life. The money raised will support charities and social enterprises with a track record of helping young people, providing management support, pro bono expertise and funding to scale the services they provide. 

Year on year, Inflexion is proud to stand behind the Impetus triathlon, both by participating and raising funds. This year, we're thrilled to have had a record number of participants from our portfolio companies, further extending our fundraising efforts and raising awareness for Impetus' vital work across our network.

Simon Turner, Managing Partner

Our triathlon continues to be one of the biggest annual fundraising events for us, and we are hugely grateful for the effort and commitment that the Inflexion team puts into it each year. The money that they and their portfolio companies raise will help many young people from disadvantaged backgrounds in the UK succeed at school, work and life. Thank you.
