Percipient Takes on Team Sage Allendale Challenge
Percipient has announced that it will be taking part in Team Sage’s annual Allendale Challenge.
The charity event, which takes place on 8th May 2025, will see nine members of the Cheshire-based Sage Intacct Partner of the Year, trek 26 miles in Northumberland over various terrains with an elevation of over 1300m.
Team Sage, which is comprised of both employees of Sage and Sage’s Partners, will embark on the hike to raise as much money as possible for three charities: St Giles Hospice; the Northeast Autism Society; and the Taylor Atherton Foundation, with every pound raised by individuals being matched by the Sage Foundation.

Percipient People
With Percipient’s Marketing Director Michelle Duffy having embraced a year of fundraising in 2024, raising a total of £13,000 for MacMillan Cancer Support, in memory of her Mum, this year will see the wider team, including Frazer Hardy; Michelle Duffy; Laurie Stanwick; Katie Maw; Melissa Ferguson; Sam Allen; Lucy Pulling; Jess Battle; Riley Meachem; and Grace Freeman, collectively raise the bar.
Extending Percipient’s 2025 fundraising efforts further, Sage Intacct consultant Riley Meachem will be running the London marathon in aid of Cancer Research UK, in memory of his Stepmum and Brother.
Senior Business Development Consultant Katie Maw will be adding two half marathons (Rome-Ostia and the Great North Run) on behalf of the Mental Health Foundation and Parkinsons, as well as a 130km dirty river cycling challenge in conjunction with the Sage Foundation and Cramlington Voluntary Youth Project.
Giving back is such an important part of our ethos as a company, and we’re incredibly proud to be supporting both Sage and our employees in raising funds for their respective charities.

“Giving back is such an important part of our ethos as a company, and we’re incredibly proud to be supporting both Sage and our employees in raising funds for their respective charities,” comments Chris Stock, Managing Director, Percipient.
“Everyone taking part has their own personal reasons for doing so, but for me, to have so many of our team pushing themselves outside of their comfort zones to embrace these challenges is testament to the culture we have, and our efforts to support the wider communities within which we interact.”
