We’re swapping high-vis for high-energy this June - and things are about to get very pink indeed!
On Saturday 14th June, some of our amazing team (and their families!) will be taking part in the Forget Me Not Colour Run 2025 at Greenhead Park, Huddersfield. Whether they’re walking, jogging or running the 3km or 5km route, one thing’s for certain - they’ll be doing it in style, completely covered in colour and bursting with pride.
Even better? While some of us are on the move, others will be volunteering on the pink paint station… armed and ready to shower runners with a generous helping of powdery goodness as they pass through!
The Colour Run isn’t just about having fun (though that’s a big part of it) – it’s all in support of the incredible work done by Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice. This local charity supports children with life-shortening conditions and their families across West Yorkshire, offering vital care and helping them make the most of every precious moment together.
This event is a key part of their fundraising calendar – and we’re proud to be getting stuck in and doing our bit.
We’ve even set up our own fundraising page, where we’re collecting donations in support of the hospice: 👉 https://www.justgiving.com/team/thefmcompany
If you’d like to support the team, give the page a visit – every donation, big or small, makes a genuine difference.
Greenhead Park will be buzzing with colour, music, and good vibes. Think:
This is the 8th Colour Run hosted by Forget Me Not – and it’s raised over £150,000 so far. This year, the charity is aiming even higher. If every participant raised just £25, the impact would be huge.
At the fm company, we’re big believers in giving back to the communities we work in – and when an opportunity comes along to do that while throwing paint at our colleagues and getting covered in it ourselves? Sign us up.
It’s a brilliant way for our staff and their families to get involved, have some fun, and support a charity that means so much to so many.
So if you’re around Huddersfield on 14th June, come down, say hi at the pink paint station, and cheer us on as we run (or stumble) past!

Every splash of colour helps make a difference. Let’s make this the brightest, boldest, and most brilliant Colour Run yet!
