Employees from our Thatcham and Hungerford branches laced up their trainers and took on a nine mile walk earlier this month along the Kennet and Avon Canal.

The sponsored walks took place on 13 and 20 August and were organised in aid of the two branch charity partners, Newbury Cancer Care (registered charity 291975) and Prior's Court (registered charity 1070227).

The route began at our Newbury branch on Northbrook Street, continued along the Kennet and Avon canal tow path, and finished in Hungerford at our branch on the high street. Both walks started at 7.30am and took just under three hours to complete, a time that both teams were very pleased with!

The sponsored walk was really successful, and we have been overwhelmed by all the support and donations. We have managed to raise over £300 so far for such an amazing charity, Newbury Cancer Care. 
As a branch we are very happy that we have opportunities like this to come to together and raise money for an amazing cause. I have thoroughly enjoyed organising this walk and look forward to organising many more charity events like this in the future.

The teams have raised a combined total of £600 for the two charities.
