Staff at Leicestershire-based full service event management agency Universal WorldEvents took part in a mission to ‘Walk the World’ last month in support of the Barnardo’s charity.
The initiative was launched by Universal WorldEvents’ parent company, United Drug. As an employer of over 8,000 people, the company’s idea was that if all its employees walked for three miles on the same day, cumulatively they would have walked the circumference of the world, which measures 24,903 miles.
Over £10,000 was raised in sponsorship for Barnado’s and live events in Iceland, Portugal, Australia, Switzerland, Italy, the UK and USA all ensured that this was truly a global effort by Universal WorldEvents staff.
Denise Abbott, UK Managing Director, said: “We are proud to have played our part in raising such a large amount of money for Barnardo’s. As a part of United Drug it was a great opportunity to work together in this initiative.”
