At HubGem, we love to give back to charity and our community!  This month we took part in our biggest charity event so far, where our team tackled hills, peaks and mountains across the country to raise money and awareness in aid of our chosen charity, Children with Cancer UK. 

Children with Cancer UK

We chose to raise money and awareness in aid of this incredible charity as the cause means a lot to us as a team.  It is the leading national children's charity, dedicated to the fight against childhood cancer. The charity funds life-saving research into the causes of childhood cancer, developing better, kinder treatments, and also raises awareness to inspire action and fund support for families through treatment and beyond.

What we achieved

As a remote working team, we are based all across the UK which meant that our hill climb took part in different locations throughout the country. Some of the team climbed together and others set out on a solo climb across some beautiful locations. We tackled all sorts of hills, peaks and mountains  including  Beacon Hill, Kinder Scout, Mayar and Driesh in Glencoe, Dorset Hills, Hubbards Hill, Kaim Hill, the Seven Sisters and Mousehold Heath. Overall we walked over 50km and over  100,000 steps!

 

How much we have raised 

Overall, so far we have raised £200 in support of Children with Cancer UK! We'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has contributed and helped to spread awareness of the charity's incredible work- we know how much each and every contribution helps!
