Home Instead Sponsored Walk: Stepping Up for Parkinson's UK
Join us as we share our recent sponsored walk to raise awareness and funds for Parkinson's UK.
How Our Sponsored Walk Stepped Up for Parkinson’s UK
On a mild December Sunday, the Home Instead team came together for a sponsored walk around the stunning Virginia Water to raise funds forParkinson’s UK. With care professionals, office staff, and even some of their beloved dogs participating, the event was a heartwarming display of teamwork and community spirit.
The scenic route around Virginia Water provided the perfect backdrop for the walk. Towering trees, serene waters, and the vibrant colours of nature made the journey not just a charitable effort but also a rejuvenating experience for everyone involved. A much-needed moment when you work in care. As the team walked, conversations flowed, laughter echoed, and bonds were strengthened, all while supporting an important cause.
The presence of furry companions added an extra layer of fun. The dogs—tails wagging and energy boundless—seemed to enjoy the event as much as their humans. They not only kept the walkers entertained but also drew smiles from other visitors at Virginia Water, spreading the positivity of the cause even further.
We also can’t forget the stirring effort made by our office manager Sarah, who managed the whole walk in an inflatable Santa suit! She certainly brought the Christmas cheer that day.
The purpose behind the walk was clear: to support Parkinson’s UK and their incredible work for individuals with Parkinson’s disease. With every step taken, the team was reminded of the importance of raising awareness and funds to support research and provide resources for those affected by this condition.
A special thank you goes out to Sarah, the representative from Parkinson’s who came on the walk with us, and everyone who participated, donated, and supported the event. From the care professionals and office staff who gave their time and energy to the dogs who brought extra cheer and to the community members who cheered us on, your efforts have made a difference.
Events like this remind us of the power of coming together for a common cause. The funds raised during the sponsored walk will help Parkinson’s UK continue their vital work, and we’re proud to have been a part of it.
Here’s to more opportunities to make a difference in our community, one step at a time!
This walk is part of an ongoing fundraising effort by Home Instead to raise donations for Parkinson’s UK, our chosen charity, for the second half of 2024. So far, we’ve raised over £200.
