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 enjoying our lunchtime walks and 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.
Week three:
Week three and we're still going strong! Our team has been out and about making the most the sunshine and clocking up the miles. From walks around London to beautiful beach walks in St Ives, we've been getting those miles in wherever we can.
Lunchtime and evening walks are still proving popular, along with bike rides, runs, and plenty of dog walks. Below are some photos from our third week.
Our team has currently achieved 1,476.80 miles, raising £1,457 for Mental Health UK.
Week four:
It's week four of our 31 Miles in May challenge for Mental Health UK, and our team has officially reached our goal of £2,000!
From bike rides around Harlow, kayaking in Hertfordshire, exploring the beautiful Cornish coastline, a team Park Run in King's Lynn and even while on holiday in Barcelona, our team have been dedicated to earning their miles and improving their mental health this month. Below are some photos from our fourth week.
Our team has currently achieved 2,063.66 miles, reaching our goal of £2,000 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.
