🪂 EPISODE 4: THE DECISION × DRIVE × TOUGH ENOUGH TO CARE × HANDS IN × @ukbanterstv 🏆❤️💛💙

RIGHT… WE’RE ACTUALLY DOING THIS THEN. 😭✈️

After weeks of talking, preparing, winding each other up and questioning what on earth we’ve signed ourselves up for…

THE BOYS HAVE FINALLY MADE THEIR DECISION. 😂🪂

It’s time to stop talking and start doing.

In this episode, the Mixed Colours boys come together, face up to the challenge ahead and decide that, whatever happens, they’re going to give it their absolute best shot.

15,000 feet in the air. One very big challenge. And a group of lads who are beginning to realise just how real this is getting. 👀

Safe to say… the nerves are kicking in. 😂

But underneath all the madness, there’s a much bigger reason we’re doing this.

Alongside the incredible @ToughEnoughToCare, and with the support of @ukbanterstv and Hands In, we’re taking on this challenge to raise awareness and money for men’s mental health and suicide prevention.

Encouraging people to check in on their mates, have those difficult conversations and remember that being tough doesn’t mean facing everything alone. ❤️

Sometimes the biggest challenge isn’t jumping out of a plane.

It’s finding the courage to speak up when you’re struggling.

And that’s a message worth jumping 15,000 feet for.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who’s supported this campaign so far — whether you’ve watched, shared, donated or simply helped spread the message.

BUT WE’RE NOT FINISHED YET! 👀

There’s still time to support the campaign.

£1, £5, £10 — whatever you can spare genuinely makes a difference. And if you can’t donate, sharing the video or fundraising page helps us reach even more people.

FOUR EPISODES DOWN. ONE FINAL CHALLENGE TO GO.

The talking is over.

The decision has been made.

And next time…

WE’RE JUMPING OUT OF A FUCKING PLANE. 😭🪂✈️

NEXT EPISODE: THE JUMP. 🔥

DRIVE: BEYOND THE STAGE.

🪂 EPISODE 3: THE PREPARATION x DRIVE x TOUGH ENOUGH TO CARE x HANDS IN x @ukbanterstv 🏆

Okay… so what the world have we actually signed up for? 😭✈️

The challenge has been set. Now it’s time to work out what actually happens when you jump out of a plane at 15,000ft.

This episode, Sam Flynn from Hands In takes the boys through what’s going down, what to expect on the day and exactly what we’ve got ourselves into. 🪂

Safe to say… confidence levels vary… 😂

But underneath all the madness is the reason we’re doing this in the first place.

Alongside @ToughEnoughToCare, we’re using this series to raise awareness and money for men’s mental health — encouraging people to check in on their mates, have the conversations that sometimes feel difficult and rethink what being “tough” actually means. ❤️

We’re getting VERY close now!

If the boys can keep it together… tune in for Episode 3. 👀

And if you can, please support the campaign. £1, £5, £10 — whatever you can spare genuinely helps. If you can’t donate, sharing the video or fundraising page helps us push the message further.

MIXED COLOURS TAKE ON @krunchandcane in BETHNAL GREEN MARKET! 🇧🇷🥟❤️💛💙

Jordan and Frank took a little trip down to @krunchandcane to see what all the fuss was about…and WHAT A TREAT 🤤🔥

In front of a packed crowd, the boys got stuck into some incredible Brazilian food, had a proper laugh and discovered what might just be their new favourite food spot in London!

Massive love to @krunchandcane for having us and showing the boys some hospitality ❤️🇧🇷

We’ll DEFINITELY be coming back for more! 🤘

This might be up there with a steak bake @greggs_official and Frank’s Greasy Fry ups. Big love to the brilliant independent businesses bringing new flavours, cultures and energy to East London! 🎶🇧🇷

WHEN TOLD TO “JUST SMILE FOR THE PHOTO 😭

About as professional as it gets and as sincere as anything else ✨

This is us on a promo day at the @theatrepeckham in the run to the show. And this is us pretty much every day too. London lads making fun out of anything 😌 If you are wondering what to expect from DRIVE … pretty much this 😂 But mostly you will be laughing and a little bit of us ❤️

DRIVE follows four boys from a council estate in East London who start a band in their local youth club. What starts with four mates making music together becomes a story about friendship, ambition, growing up, grief, identity, brotherhood and everything that happens when life starts pulling them in different directions.

Expect live music, original tracks, big characters, endless laughter, absolute chaos — and a story with a hell of a lot of heart. ❤️💛💙

From Theatre Peckham → a sold-out West End run → touring the UK → now our biggest London stage yet.

🪂 EPISODE 2: THE PREPARATION x TOUGH ENOUGH TO CARE x DRIVE x HANDS IN x @ukbanterstv 🏆

Right… so what have we actually signed ourselves up for? 😭✈️

This time, Sam from @HandsIn talks the boys through exactly what’s about to go down and what they need to prepare for whether or not the boys can actually keep it all together 😂🪂 And why jumping out of plane might mean a little more than a just a glorified Tom Cruise Impression 🕴️

But behind all the madness is something incredibly important. Alongside @ToughEnoughToCare, we’re using this campaign to raise money and start conversations around men’s mental health, checking in on your mates and what it really means to be “tough” in what is very important month in the world of mental health awareness ❤️

We’re nearly at the end of this journey now and we hope that the laughter and the banter along the way can show the joy in what it means to do something positive for others who need it 🙏🏻 If the boys can keep it together, tune in for the next episode 👀

And if you’ve been following the series, please give the fundraising page a visit. Donate whatever you can spare — and if you can’t donate, sharing the campaign helps massively too. 🫶
