Congratulations to our Avonmouth team for smashing a 5 million steps challenge, an initiative that not only promoted health and wellbeing but also supported the site's chosen charity, the Great Western Air Ambulance. Alongside supporting national charities such as FareShare and GroceryAid, Hovis® colleagues are passionate about supporting hundreds of charities throughout the country. Whether it's raising funds for them through activities or donating hundreds of thousands of loaves of bread, Hovis® colleagues care about making a positive impact in our communities. #charity #wellbeing
In July, my colleagues at Avonmouth took on a 1 million steps (500 miles) challenge to promote walking, health and raise funds for the Great Western Air Ambulance Charity. As more and more colleagues signed up, including warehouse staff, drivers, hygiene team, and the site leadership, the challenge quickly grew too into a 5 million steps challenge! Thank you to everyone who took part, we raised funds for the Air Ambulance and a few of us got out and moving a bit more!! Personally, the camaraderie, motivation and support has helped me to lose over a stone in weight and generally feel more energetic. To top the month off we celebrated the achievement with a "healthier" treat...lots of fruit! Hovis Ltd #Avonmouth #healthierlife.
