Seething athletes compete in a deadly serious sports day race.
The denizens of Seething Wells have made it to the regional finals of the first-ever Britain Has Spirit awards, which could see the group win £1,000 for a street party. But the real prize would be a win at national level, meaning a £25,000 award. Seething Wells is competing against three other good causes in the London region including the Plumstead Make Merry, an outdoor festival that has taken place yearly since 1975.
Why Seething Wells?
"Seething Wells is a group of people that put on community events for local people in Surbiton and raise money for the local community. It promotes social interaction between people that might not have mixed. It promotes the arts, music, local shops, local charities and most of all fun! It means that people, who want to listen to music and cannot always attend a formal indoor forum like a theatre because of their disability, can enjoy music in the open air without feeling embarrassed or fearful of remarks."
The awards were launched by TV presenter Gabby Logan and Together Mutual Insurance in response to the company's research, which claimed nearly half of Britons did not feel they were part of a "neighbourly community". Regional winners are automatically entered into a national vote.
