Bright takes on the #BristolCaresChallenge.
In April, the Bright team took on the #BristolCaresChallenge and walked 20,000 steps in aid of Caring in Bristol to raise vital funds for emergency support, housing advice, and long-term solutions to solve the homelessness crisis in our city.
How far is 20,000 steps actually?
Turns out, quite a lot. Especially if you consider that we are doing 20,000 steps each. That's 120,000 steps in total. To put that in perspective that's further than:
- Bristol to Cardiff (the long way around)
- Bristol to Cardiff and back (the wet way around)
- Bristol to Bath to Bristol to Bath to Keynsham.
Why did we taking part in the challenge?
Bright have been Caring Corporate Partners for Caring in Bristol for the last few years as we're huge supporters of the vital work which they do but the Bristol Cares Challenge was an opportunity to get the team together and unite more actively for a cause we’re all passionate about.
We were keen for it to be a group activity and find the time for everyone to fit the challenge among their client work, so we ended up doing it a little earlier than the official day. We're glad we did as it ended up being the perfect weather for it!
£1,430 raised for Caring in Bristol
As part of the challenge we matched all donations we received resulting in £1,430 raised in total. That's enough to provide ongoing, one-to-one expert support for 13 people facing homelessness to live a fulfilled life, independently. Thank you to everyone who donated, we couldn't have done it without your help.
