Bonkers in Barcelona – Update
Last month, one of our Architects - Francisco Munoz - joined a team from Ellipta Surveyors for an intrepid journey from Folkestone to Barcelona as part of the Martha Trust’s 2026 car challenge – Bonkers in Barcelona!
The challenge? To make the journey in a car bought for under £500! Taking inspiration from the theme “Top Gear on a Budget – Barcelona in a Very Unreasonably Priced Car!”, the Ellipta team named their trusty vehicle ‘Barcelona Bella’.
The team and their supporters (including ourselves, of course!) raised just over £12,000 for Martha Trust, which is a fantastic achievement.
The total raised across the whole event is yet to be announced, but the team leader summed it up perfectly:
“Whatever the final outcome, the event has helped raise the profile of the Martha Trust and raised a significant sum of money in support of those who really do need our help.”
A huge well done to everyone involved in this brilliant challenge, and thank you to everyone who supported such a worthwhile cause.
