Small steps with trundl can make giant strides for charity

Founder of trundl

trundl is a unique, non-competitive membership initiative that is powered via our app and has a different way of motivating the community to get active by setting a charity walking goal. Unlike other fitness, app-based trackers, it doesn’t matter how far or how fast you go with trundl, you know that you are helping us to give back to some amazing outdoor-aligned charities like the Sussex Wildlife Trust, one of our founding partners.

Our membership fee is designed to give people the opportunity to belong to a cheerful community of like-minded people who want to be active and do some good at the same time. And all for a heck of lot less than the price of an unused gym membership. In fact, for founding trundlers who help us to test the app and give their advice and feedback, it is just £3.99 a month to join in.

And the best bit is that you do the going and we do the giving. Why? Because that’s the sole purpose of trundl. Our business is designed from the outset to give income back to the charities and by setting this example as a small start-up, we leverage our good will to prompt more donations from some of our brand partners also.

Our ultimate goal will be to partner with some of the best outdoor UK brands who, by pledging additional donations to our charities, will increase the motivation to get active outdoors. They will also give extra incentive and reward to our lovely trundlrs in the form of offers and in time to come, prizes. That way there is a win win win for everybody……and we call this GO GIVE GET. 

You can find out more at www.trundl.co.uk and we hope that some of you might join us and come trundling to support our important outdoor and mobility causes.
