What's New

Time to #BeOarsome

Ipswich

Basepoint Ipswich licensees and staff will be getting a lot fitter this January!

The Soma Leo Foundation will be providing Basepoint Ipswich, along with all other participating companies, with a rowing machine for the whole of January, to encourage us to raise funds by attempting to row as far as we can within a month and compete against other local businesses.


Meters and kilometres can be rowed at any time that suits, but all must be done on our allocated rowing machine. Each team’s progress will be tracked with a league table published on the Soma Leo website, inspiring the competitive spirit!


The Soma Leo Foundation exists to provide education and support for significantly disadvantaged communities in east Africa. They do this through The Soma Leo Academy, a school they built in Nyiera, Kenya, and by supporting other schools in the nearby Osieko area. The Foundation seeks to achieve excellence by having safe and clean facilities, high quality teaching with a low pupil to teacher ratio, good nourishment for the children, and with a varied and interesting curriculum.
