In November 2021 Martin Hewitt set off from Hercules Inlet with record-breaking polar explorer Louis Rudd (Director of Expeditions at Shackleton) towards the South Pole on the Olympian Homes sponsored expedition. In a truly astonishing feat of physical and mental endurance, Martin skied over the most inhospitable environment on the planet, across extremely challenging terrain, in sub-zero temperatures and with one fully functioning arm.

In November 2021 The Sir Donald Gosling Sword of Honour was presented to Mark Slatter, Chairman of Olympian Homes, at The Royal Marines Charity ‘London Dinner 2021’. The sword is presented annually to the business that has provided the most significant support to RMA – The Royal Marines Charity over the previous 12 months.

Olympian Homes have completed the purchase of the 5 acre site at Pottery Lane, Newcastle from Strawsons Ltd. The development has a GIA of 430,867 sqft and will provide 525 high quality residential units close to the waterfront.

Olympian completed the land purchase of the site on Alfreton Road, Nottingham 1st October 2021 and is now progressing a planning application for a PBSA and affordable housing scheme.

Martin Hewitt travelling with arctic guide Louis Rudd are attempting to walk unsupported and unassisted to the South Pole and then climb Mt Vinson, in a world first attempt at the Adaptive Grand Slam and to inspire others with lifelong injuries and disabilities to achieve their goals. The AGS foundation is a charity that provides support for people with physical and mental health challenges to gain or regain independence, confidence and meaningful occupation.

Olympian Homes is supporting a local charity which helps to create healthy communities through physical activity. The partnership will enable York-based Move the Masses to develop a new innovative programme which will help people from across different generations and ages to take part in regular group walks led by local students, boosting both the mental and physical health of isolated and vulnerable people.
