British Gas JOGLE: Kram and dave

Putting great effort

JOGLER'S on the move.

The Challenge

Between Monday 5th July and Friday 17th September 84 colleagues from the British Gas Resolution Team will be walking in relay from John O'Groats to Lands End, a challenge in itself!

To make this a bit harder we decided to pop into a few call centres and offices along the way turning what would have been a 1000 mile stroll into a 1300 mile stroll! The route will start from John O'Groats, go though Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, Cardiff, London, Southampton and then finally finishing in Lands End 75 days later.

The Charity

We have chosen to support RNIB Rushton School and Children's Home who provide specialist education, therapies and healthcare for young people with sight loss and complex health needs. The team leaders visited the school and where inspired by the huge challenges the children overcome every day. RNIB Rushton is currently undergoing a £30m redevelopment of the sight to provide state of the art facilities. The British Gas Resolution Team have chosen to support this buy using the money raised to pay for a garden for the children. This is a secure patio area where the children can enjoy non-intrusive outdoor activity, such as eating outside.

The team leaders were amazed that there was very little outdoor space for the children currently but noticed how much they enjoyed it when they got chance to use it. Supporting this worthy project was an easy choice.
