Converting steps into cash: Antalis marches for Mind

Print Solutions

Antalis UK has raised an impressive £3214 for mental health charity, Mind, through a walking challenge.

Throughout the month of May, the Antalis team walked the distance from Dublin to every single one of the company’s sites – 1614 miles! For every mile capped, Antalis donated £2 to Mind, a charity which provides advice and support to anyone experiencing a mental health problem. The challenge began on 10 May in conjunction with Mental Health Awareness week and was then extended to the rest of May for National Walking Month. After speaking to his team about the effects of Covid-19 on their mental wellbeing, Gary Tilbrook, regional business director at Antalis, came up with the idea of the team raising money for Mind.

Hayley James, communications executive, human resources at Antalis, said: ‘A very big thank you to everyone who got involved in our walking challenge. Not only have you done something positive and proactive for your fitness and mental wellbeing, you have also raised valuable money for Mind.’
