Canaryball Rally, proudly sponsored by DMD Installations and Ovamill, is back for its third year—and it’s gearing up to be our best yet.

From 29th September, teams of drivers will set off from The Nest on an unforgettable European road trip, covering 1,872 miles across five countries—including Switzerland and Belgium—before returning on 3rd October. Along the way, they’ll take in some of Europe’s most scenic landscapes, all while raising funds to support the Foundation’s vital work in the community.

To kick things off, on Tuesday 1st April, our 2025 drivers (and their cars!) gathered at The Nest for a special meet and greet evening. The evening gave them the chance to learn more about the impact their fundraising will have—and to meet some of the individuals whose lives will be directly changed by it.

Participants from the Foundation’s Realising Potential programme were on hand to give the drivers a warm welcome, excitedly exploring the rally cars and even jumping into the driver’s seat themselves! In return, they gave our drivers a tour of The Box—The Nest’s brand-new health and wellbeing facility, and challenged them to a few friendly games on the interactive Lü wall.

The evening was a brilliant reminder of the power of connection, community, and the real difference events like Canaryball Rally make.

We’ll be announcing our official driving teams soon… but it’s not too late to get involved!
