Business Breakfast: Harrogate marketing agency get sore feet for mental health charity
Business Breakfast is sponsored by Harrogate law firm Truth Legal
A team from Harrogate marketing agency, Big Bamboo, has raised more than £2,500 for the mental health charity, Mind.
Staff completed the 23-mile-long Harrogate Ringway trek and also walked barefoot across red-hot embers on the Leeds Mind firewalk.
Some of the bolder members of the group spent a hour training and then walked across the red-hot embers. The company said the challenge was more mental than a physical, and felt it was an appropriate way to raise money for a mental health charity.
Jen Winterschladen, Operations Director at The Big Bamboo Agency, said:
“We are thrilled to have exceeded our fundraising target for this year, raising £2,572 for Mind...
“..The fundraising challenges we undertook emphasised the importance of mental health: walking in the countryside around Harrogate took us away from our screens and gave us a chance to have a proper talk, while the firewalk was a lesson in the power of the mind and believing you can do anything you put your mind to.
“We felt Mind was a truly fitting charity to support, and we look forward to supporting another amazing charity in 2023.”
