Take on a challenge for Willen Hospice
The Willen Hospice team have created a programme of fundraising activities to help businesses stay in touch, keep active, connect with colleagues and boost wellbeing.
There’s something for everyone whether you are an individual, small business or large corporate.
Those who want to take on a challenge can sign up for the MK Marathon, from 1 May, with 5K, 10K, half and full marathon distances available. Form a team of four and run as a relay. Charity places are available.
Start your training with Willen’s epic 48-hour relay! Run in pairs for 20, 40 or 60 minutes, or book time slots and pass the virtual baton between your team.
The 84 mile Hadrian’s Wall Challenge hike runs for six days in August or you can test yourself with the Three Peaks Challenge from 3-5 September.
Alternatively, if you’re looking for a team social, Willen Hospice are offering virtual cooking classes, with themes including Mother’s Day cupcakes and a posh picnic, or a music bingo night for a fun musical game night in.
To find out more and get involved, please contact corporate@willenhospice.org.uk or call 01908 636663.
LEND A HAND TO ROTARY MK
Rotary MK is appealing for new members to assist with their projects.
They have different meeting and project opportunities to match members’ diverse priorities, interests and skills. Their projects match this diversity; from helping small, local charities raise significant sums through Rotary MK’s annual Swimathon, to rebuilding and equipping a school in India, to saying thank you to MK’s NHS staff in a practical way.
With the latter, MK University Hospital Charity had refurbished a staff hub. Rotary MK worked to raise £2,000, towards new blinds and staff ‘goodie bags’.
Rotary MK are looking for Chamber members who may be in a position to give back to the community - especially those with social media, IT, or accountancy skills.
