Walking With The Wounded - colleagues raise £600

In the run-up to Armed Forces Day, on Thursday 27th June, 11 of our colleagues volunteered and fundraised with Walking With The Wounded – on their ‘Longest Day Challenge’ to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

Organised by GC's Veterans & Reservists Equality EDI Network, they undertook a 10 mile fundraising walk across Manchester.

They raised over £600 for Walking With The Wounded – who provide employment, care, housing and mental health support to those who have served in the Armed Forces.

Help Lucy Roue raise money to support Mind

Lucy Roue, Marketing & Communications Manager for Made Smarter is doing the York 10K run in August to raise money for Mind, the mental health charity.

Lucy explains why she's decided to fundraise for Mind:

"Mind is a charity close to my heart after suffering my own mental health battles for a number of years. Now that I’m in a better place, healthy and happy again, I’d like to do my bit to help others who find themselves in need of extra support.

"A 10K is going to be tough for me (as I’ve signed up fairly late and vaped too much), but it’s a challenge I’m up for, in the name of a great cause. Please donate and help empower others to overcome their darkest days."
