THE JONES FM COMPLETES THE LONDON TOUGH MUDDER CHALLENGE 2016!
The Jones FM completes the London Tough Mudder Challenge 2016!
Braving the cold, wet and windy conditions the Jones FM team toughed it out to finish of the 2016 London Tough Mudder Challenge. Set in the West of London countryside among the undulating hills the course stretches across 12-miles of beautiful scenery, not that you get to see it for the mud baths! The run up to the event had been suitably wet, but there was a sneaky suspicion among the Jones FM team the hose had been out to put the mud in mudder!
Setting off with their Daz whiter than white t-shirts the team embarked on a gruelling epic journey. There were slips, trips and moving of the hips as the team banded together like never before. Blood, sweat, and tears were shed to not let the side down.
The Jones FM Team Had the Course Licked!
Despite the challenges, the Jones FM team were all determined to see the finish line to raise the much-needed funds for their chosen charity, The Darent Valley Hospital Lollipop Fund. This charity is close to the hearts of all at Jones FM, so it was an incredibly proud moment to cross the line knowing they had just raised £2,195. This money will now be used to support seriously ill children in their rehabilitation as well as supporting those around them to provide the best care and attention possible.
A BIG THANK YOU!
On behalf of all at Jones FM, we’d like to say a HUGE thank you for all the donations and support given. Not forgetting the enjoyment of seeing Brad and Chris getting down and dirty with the rest of the team.
The Jones FM team is already planning next year’s event where in true Jones FM style first place is being targeted!

CHRIS AND JJ JONES TALK GOOD BUSINESS
In an era where corporate social responsibility often feels rehearsed, Jones FM has carved out a refreshing exception - a partnership with North Kent Mind that is defined not by press releases, but by sweat, stamina, and a commitment to community well-being. What began as a modest charity run a few years ago - a buoyant 5K event that raised just over a thousand pounds - has matured into something far more ambitious. This year, the Jones FM team undertook a formidable multi-discipline endurance challenge: a demanding combination of cycling, sea paddling, and long distance hiking that pushed everyone well beyond their comfort zones. The test of grit was more than symbolic. It culminated in a remarkable fundraising achievement of £6,730, a sum that delivers tangible support to mental health services across North Kent. The significance of this contribution extends far beyond the number itself. For North Kent Mind such funding strengthens the backbone of its essential services: counselling, peer-led support, well-being programmes, and community-based recovery initiatives. The charity's work is rooted in values of openness, togetherness, and a refusal to give up on anyone who walks through their doors. It's precisely these values that Jones FM's fundraising embodies. The relationship between Jones FM and North Kent Mind has matured into something both understated and powerful. It is proof that when a company chooses to invest not just its money but its people, its time, and its wholehearted effort, the impact multiplies. Funds are raised, yes - but awareness is also lifted, conversations are opened, and the often silent subject of mental health gains new visibility. At a time when the demand for mental health support is steadily climbing, partnerships like this stand out as models of modern corporate citizenship: grounded, human, and driven by genuine purpose. And in that sense, Jones FM's latest achievement is more than a fundraising milestone. It's a reminder that meaningful change happens when businesses and communities move forward together.
