Local companies urged to step it up this May for Southern Area Hospice
Southern Area Hospice is calling on local businesses to step up to the mark this May, by signing up to the Step It Up Corporate Challenge, while raising vital funds for their palliative care services.
The event will take place throughout the month of May, when employees will be encouraged to take 10,000 steps every day for 31 days. Whether it’s taking the stairs instead of the lift at work, getting off the bus a stop early, or simply taking your dog for an extra five-minute walk in the evening, every step matters. Hitting a step count every day can have numerous health benefits, both physical and mental.
There is a competitive aspect to the challenge as there will be prizes awarded to the organisations who raise the most money for Southern Area Hospice via their individual online fundraising page. All that is required for businesses to sign up is an initial donation of £200. Southern Area Hospice will issue a certificate of participation to each organisation that completes the challenge.
Conor Kelly, from Warrenpoint based Kellys Group, one of the first organisations to sign up said "I am thrilled to announce that Kellys Group are participating with the Southern Area Hospice Step It Up Challenge. We take immense pride in supporting this meaningful initiative, and we wholeheartedly encourage our workforce to step up and actively contribute towards making a positive difference in our community".
