Throughout May, the Jane Lewis team laced up their trainers and took on a walking challenge all to support YoungMinds – our partner this year and the UK’s leading charity championing the mental health of children and young people.
We began with our clear goal – to collectively walk 454 miles, making up the distance between our most northerly and most southerly clients. We powered through and reached our target by the halfway point of the month. Motivated by the progress and the support we received, we decided to double the challenge and walk the return journey as well, bringing our new goal to 908 miles.
By the end of May, we had walked a total of 961 miles!
Alongside the challenge, we managed to raise an incredible £1,257 for YoungMinds! Every step we took and every donation we received is going to support their mission to ensure young people get the mental health support that they need, and when they need it most.
This challenge brought together all staff across our branches, connecting our colleagues through a shared commitment to making a difference. It’s just one of the many ways we’re working to support YoungMinds this year as part of our ongoing partnership.
A huge thank you goes out to everyone who took part, donated, or encouraged us along the way. Your support helps make initiatives like this possible – and truly meaningful.
