It’s safe to say that 2020 was a year like no other… Between the lockdowns and all the uncertainty, our team decided that we wanted to do some good.
Our Challenge
Throughout March, we’ll be walking to raise money for Leicester Hospitals Charity. It’s our small way to say thank you to each and every NHS and hospital worker in Leicester for the amazing work that they do and have done throughout the pandemic.
Here is a little information about this amazing charity and what they do:
- They work tirelessly to support patients, their carers, and the NHS staff who look after them in Leicester, Leicestershire, Rutland and beyond
- The charity carries out targeted fundraising campaigns to provide additional resources, assets and skills which link closely with the strategic aims of UHL
- They work to help make the Leicester Royal Infirmary, the Leicester General Hospital and Glenfield Hospital even better for patients, visitors and staff
We also felt like this challenge kills two birds with one stone, as we all agreed that with working from home we haven’t been as active as we’d like and so doing this walking will boost our wellbeing as we raise these vital funds.
Our goal is £1500 and we’re so happy to have met this (plus ££338.75 in Gift Aid) only a few days into the walk, at the time of writing! We’re so grateful to everyone who has supported us so far! For anyone who wants to keep up to date with our progress, how we’re doing, and all the lovely photos we take, go and follow us on social media as we will be sharing updates there!
How to support us
We may have met the goal we set out with but we can aim even bigger now! We’d really appreciate your support. Even if you only donate the price of your daily coffee, every little really does help. Everyone knows someone who has benefited from the support of Leicester hospitals or knows someone who works as part of it. Every single pound that we raise matters and it goes to such an incredible cause.
Feel free to share this blog post and our Just Giving page with your friends, family, and anyone else who might be interested in supporting this worthy cause.
We’re looking forward to getting outside each day, taking in the Instagram-worthy views of Leicester, and doing our bit to support this wonderful charity.
If you would like to donate to this worthy cause, we’d really appreciate it. Just head over to our Just Giving page to name your donation.
