Summer Solstice Walking Challenge

Tax deductible
Hey there,

We are inviting you along to join us on our Sunrise to Sunset Summer Solstice Charity Walk!

Three members of our terrific team, Andrea Pollard, Shrona Pilling and Scott Bryce, have set themselves the challenge of walking around our Barden Athletics Track on 20th June to raise money and awareness for the phenomenal charity Lancashire Mind. They've decided to do this on the longest day of the year in the UK, when the sun will rise at 04:37 and not set until 21:43.

Why are we doing it?

In partnership with MIND, we want to help raise awareness of the great and inspiring work that they do.

Here at BLC Group, we constantly promote the connection between healthy bodies and healthy minds, and we actively support the belief that everyone deserves to be happy and healthy. We also want to advocate voluntary adversity on this walk, and work our hardest to help you to push yourself out of your comfort zone and to keep you going at times of struggle, whether that be physically or mentally...

...And what better way to demonstrate this than by walking for hours and hours – over 17 in fact!

Who can join in? 

To put it simply, anyone and everyone!

Whether you're part of a business, community group, school, or just an individual who loves to walk – come and get your steps in with us.
You don’t have to be a member to join in, so shout out about this as far and as wide as you can, and share the news in your workplace, your children’s schools, your sports clubs, and even your community groups!

Why take part? 

Here's why YOU should join us!

- Help us raise money and awareness for Lancashire Mind

- Set yourself a goal and try pushing yourself out of your comfort zone

- Meet likeminded individuals all walking for the same cause

- Meet local charities and groups who support our communities with physical and mental health

- Walk on behalf of someone else, maybe someone you know lost their fight with a mental illness and you want to walk in memory of them

- You or someone you know overcame times of struggle and you want to celebrate brighter days.

- Experience the benefits walking can have on your own mental well being


How can I take part? 

We hope that you're interested in seeing some familiar faces from different BLC Group departments all 'walking in sunshine!'
