EventWell, the charitable social enterprise dedicated to educating, campaigning and supporting better mental health and wellbeing in events, has announced that it will be hosting its #Step300k challenge for a second year running.
This year the Step300k challenge and fundraiser will begin in May to support National Walking Month and will continue through to August.
The aim of the challenge is to “motivate and encourage event professionals to get active to support their mental wellbeing during the lockdown and beyond”. The challenge involves reaching a target of 10,000 steps per day, 300,000 steps a month or the ‘big target’ of one million steps over the entire four-month period.
EventWell are also encouraging participants to help support their charitable outreach and support programmes, in particular Pledge by EventWell, by getting friends, family or colleagues to sponsor them, make a donation, or join the challenge.
CEO of EventWell, Helen Moon, said: “I’m delighted that we are launching the second Step300k challenge for the event industry, and with the all-important mission of raising vital funds for our Pledge programme. Pledge is increasingly proving to be an essential relief service for professionals in our industry experiencing hardship, and we want to ensure that we can continue to offer this essential service, so any money raised from this year’s challenge will help us to achieve this. It’s also important that we all pay special attention to our health and wellbeing, and the Step300k challenge is the perfect way to do this.”
The challenge will begin on 1 May and is open to anyone working in events, exhibitions, hospitality or travel, and can be achieved individually or as part of a team.
