Throughout the month of December, members of Pegasus Group stepped out of their homes, and into the cold weather to show their support for our nominated charity of the year, Shelter. The charity had organised their fundraising event the Big Walk to run for a week within December, however Pegasus Group decided to do this over the month.
Shelter helps those struggling with bad housing or homelessness and offers advice, support, and legal services. The past year has had a massive impact on housing, with a surge in homelessness and more people needing assistance with managing their home situation than ever before.
The offices at Pegasus Group wanted to join forces to raise awareness and highlight the importance of the work carried out by Shelter.
The team set a challenge to either walk, cycle, swim or run, 2020 miles to finish off the year. Well done to all of those who took part! The final figure came to a fantastic 2,401 miles with £435 raised from those involved.
Executive Director, Nicky Parsons, also took part in Shelter’s the Big Walk and walked 10 miles with friends in socially distanced bubbles. Her group managed to raise an amazing £6,000, which was way above their original target of £80.
