Flower Pod Flyers to race at Nottingham Super Soapbox Challenge

Events, Flower Pod, Fundraising, News March 23rd, 2026

Our team ‘The Flower Pod Flyers” are very excited to be entering the Nottingham Super Soapbox Challenge on the 10th of May in Old Market Square, bringing together creativity, teamwork, and community spirit, to raise money and awareness of our charity, Reach Learning Disability.

We are going to transform our soapbox into a vibrant wheelbarrow bursting with brightly coloured flowers, reflecting the joy and positivity that Flower Pod brings to the people we support every day. This project has been a true team effort, with our clients at the heart of every stage—from designing to building the soapbox itself.

Our team is made up of passionate and dedicated individuals, including Nicola Bradley, Flower Pod Southwell Centre Manager, and Gillian Foster, Project Coordinator, who has spent time working closely with clients to design and create the soapbox. We’re also joined by Keeley Colquit, who is passionate about the local community and horticulture, bringing even more enthusiasm and support to the team.

Together with clients, we are designing and making our outfits to add even more colour, creativity and personality to the day. It’s been a fantastic opportunity to build confidence, develop skills, and have lots of fun as a team.
