Join a charity Plane Pull in Bournemouth

Around 19 charities are to benefit from a Plane Pull at Bournemouth International Airport on Bank Holiday Monday 25 August and teams are sought to participate.

The charities include Autism Unlimited, Dorset Mind, John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation and MYTIME Young Carers.

Teams of up to 20 people are invited pull a 35,000kg Boeing 737 a distance of 50m at the Aviation Business Park.

Richard Griffin, operations manager and founder of the charity event, said: “We’re so excited to bring the Dorset Plane Pull back for 2025. Every year we see incredible effort and community spirit on display, and it’s amazing to watch people come together for such important causes. It’s going to be another unforgettable day.”

Team registration is still open and so far 28 teams have signed up to take on the challenge.

Businesses, friends, families, and community groups are all welcome to get involved. Each team is asked to raise a minimum sponsorship for their chosen charity.
