Jericho’s Rusty Banger Challenge

By Published On: July 31, 2024Categories: Local news, Network newsTags:

This past weekend Richard Beard, the CEO of JERICHO (the parent charity of Birmingham enterprise The Wood Shack) embarked with his friend Simon on an extraordinary journey. They purchased a 23-year-old Toyota MR2, a car that was barely functional, for just £500 over the phone. Their mission? To restore this rusty vehicle and drive it across four countries, traversing some of the highest roads in Europe – a total of 3000 miles! This was no ordinary road trip. Richard and Simon undertook this challenge on behalf of the Jericho Foundation, a family of seven social enterprises, including The Wood Shack.
