Willmott Dixon Interiors employees laced up their walking boots for a charity challenge across the Surrey Hills, raising £18,000 for breast cancer awareness charity, CoppaFeel!.
Nearly 100 employees gathered at Wotton House in Dorking before setting off on a 20 kilometre circular route that took in Leith Hill Tower and Holmbury Hill.
Split into ten colour themed teams, participants took on a series of activities and checkpoints along the way to earn points. Teams were rewarded for their creativity, including the best team photo, video reel, team chant and for wearing pink in support of CoppaFeel!
After an energetic day of fundraising and friendly competition, the ‘Glorious Greens’ team finished at the top of the leaderboard.
The fundraising effort was made possible through generous donations from friends, family and supply chain partners, bringing the total raised for CoppaFeel! by Willmott Dixon Interiors this year to £38,000.
Richard Bartlett, director at Willmott Dixon Interiors, said: “CoppaFeel! is changing the way young people think about breast cancer by encouraging them to recognise what is normal for them and to seek advice if something does not feel right. That message has the potential to save lives, which is why we are so pleased to support the charity.
“I am incredibly proud of the commitment shown by our people in taking on this challenge and supporting such an important cause. The generosity of everyone who donated has helped us continue raising awareness of CoppaFeel!’s work and the difference it makes.”
Special thanks to our partners for their generous donations: Bancroft, Halsion, Paine Manwaring, Medway Fabrications, Hamilton Architects, Adept.
CoppaFeel! is the UK’s only youth focused breast cancer awareness charity. It aims to educate young people about the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, encouraging regular self checks and giving people the confidence to speak to their GP if they notice any changes.
