We Walk for Yorkshire - Workplaces

Fundraising & Supporter Experience team on tour

Last night after work we donned our branded gear and set off for a walk around the stunning Fewston & Swinsty Reservoirs. The sun was beaming down, the ice cream van was out and the steps were racking up. A perfect way to spend an evening 😊

💚Week 3 Update 💚

The week 3 challenge was all about spotting hearts out and about on our walks, regulating our nervous systems and finding the time to appreciate the good in the world 💚Onto the final week now with the only challenge being head down, get those steps in and move up the leader board 📈

🌟Week 2 Update🌟

Our week 2 challenge was animal spotting! The team was given a checklist of 35 animals 🐖🦢🐶 which they were tasked to spot while clocking up their miles. The team spotted bunnies, swans, a heron, all the garden bird varieties and even an Alpaca! However, it was the bonus animal of a Yorkshire Terrier which turned out to be the most elusive! 
Next week we're feeling the love ❤️

We Walk for Yorkshire 2026

We're taking part in We Walk for Yorkshire, the annual challenge organised by Yorkshire Cancer Research. We'll be joining others across Yorkshire and beyond, to collectively walk 35,000 miles in May to help fund life-saving cancer research. 

Why 35,000? That's the number of people who are told they have cancer in Yorkshire every year. By walking in May, I'm helping save lives in our region. 

By taking part, I'm helping to shine a light on the need for new and better ways to prevent, detect and treat cancer in our region. 

By supporting our fundraising, you'll be directly contributing to vital research and pioneering new services that will benefit people with cancer in Yorkshire now, and in the future. 

Thank you for anything you're able to donate. It will make a real difference 💙

Week 1 Update

The Fundraising & Supporter Experience team Week 1 challenge was all about our brand colours 💙💛

We were tasked with getting out and about for our walks and taking photos of anything blue and yellow. 

The team smashed it out the park with trips to Scarborough and the stunning Yorkshire Dales National Park for the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge.

Next week it's all about the animals 🦆🐄🦋
