🚶‍♀️ Supporting Each Other – Fundraising for the Charity for Civil Servants

We’re coming together as a team to take on the Mega Miles Challenge in support of the Charity for Civil Servants – and we’d love your support.

This challenge is all about moving more and making a difference. Across the team, we’ll be taking part in a range of activities to raise money (and a bit of team spirit!), including:

• Aiming for 10,000 steps a day (for a week, two weeks, or even the whole month)
• Taking on a 10K, half marathon, or walking challenge
• Getting involved in cycling events or organising team cycle days
• Hosting walkathons with colleagues – any distance, any pace
• Running fun fundraising activities like cake sales, coffee mornings, dress-down days, office Olympics… or even bouncing on a space hopper!

We’re each choosing our own way to get involved – but every step, mile and activity will help raise vital funds.

💛 Why it matters

The Charity for Civil Servants provides free, confidential support to colleagues when life gets tough – from financial help and money worries, to wellbeing and mental health support.

For colleagues like Hannah, that support can be life-changing:

“I couldn’t even put into words how terrible it was. I was really unwell by this point and stress just took me out. I ended up taking time off work from anxiety. It’s about having someone to listen to you and tell you you’re going to be alright.”

No one should have to face life’s challenges alone – and through fundraising, we can help ensure that support is always there when it’s needed most.

🎯 Making your donation go further

A huge thank you to Baringa, who are supporting this challenge by matching donations pound for pound up to £5,000 – meaning your contribution will go twice as far.

“Civil servants play a vital role in delivering essential services and driving long-term change, often under intense pressure. At Baringa, we are proud to work alongside government and public sector organisations to help them meet these challenges. Partnering with the Charity for Civil Servants on the Mega Miles Challenge allows us to deepen our support and make a meaningful difference.”
Sarah Ashley, Head of Government and Public Sector, Baringa
