This May, the Berry Recruitment team is stepping up once again, with a new mental health challenge.
In support of Mental Health Awareness Week, our teams across the country are taking part in the ‘31 Miles in May’ challenge, raising money for
Mental Health UK. The challenge encourages everyone to move more, talk openly, and make mental wellbeing a priority.
This year’s Mental Health Awareness Week theme, set by Mental Health UK, focuses on ‘Community’, highlighting the vital role that strong, supportive networks play in promoting good mental health.
31 Miles in May challenge:
Whether it’s walking, running, cycling or swimming, our goal is donate £31 for every 31 miles our team achieves throughout May. Together, we’re going the extra mile to raise awareness around the importance of mental health, and every mile counts.
Week one:
It’s been a great time to start our 31 Miles in May challenge with a 3 day Bank Holiday weekend offering plenty of time for our team to start strong!
This week’s activities have included lunchtime walks, exploring our local areas through hikes, beach walks and evening runs, kayaking along the River Thames, 10K runs, and walks with our four-legged friends. Below are some photos from our first week.
Our team has already achieved 326.47 miles, raising £310 for Mental Health UK.
Week two:
Our team has definitely taken advantage of the warm weather this week with so many miles achieved in week two!
Once again, we've been taking advantage of lunchtime walks and our local areas with countryside hikes, as well as Park Run, cycling, netball tournaments, more kayaking along the River Lea, and of course long dog walks. Below are some photos from our second week.
Our team has already achieved 820.97 miles, raising £806 for Mental Health UK.
Stay tuned for more updates as we progress through the month! We'll be sharing photos, milestones, and total miles covered each week to keep you updated during our challenge.
