Target steps
50k Steps to Success challenge update 11/5/26
Well…
the team has been out there stomping the pavements like we’re training for the
Olympics (or at least pretending we are), and it’s time for a gloriously over‑the‑top
progress update.
First things first: we’ve raised an incredible £438 for The King’s Trust so far. That’s
right — four hundred and thirty‑eight actual pounds. That puts us currently 4th
on the overall Santander leader board. You
absolute legends. Whether you‘ve donated to our team or shared the
details with friends and colleagues, thank you. Your support is fuelling us…
quite literally. Some of us have spent more on snacks than steps, but that’s
not the point.
Now for the big step-count reveal:
We’ve officially smashed through 520,000 steps. That’s over half a million
steps. That’s like walking to the shops… and then forgetting what you went for…
and walking back again… about 200 times.
Our team target is a mighty 1,200,000 steps, and we’re well on our way. At this
rate, we’ll hit the goal, tone our calves, and possibly wear out a pair of
trainers or two.
Thank you again for every donation, cheer, and “go on then, one more mile” pep
talk. Keep cheering us on — we’re stepping, striding, and occasionally hobbling
our way to the finish.
There’s still time to donate if you haven’t had a chance yet.

More updates soon… assuming we can still move.
We're stepping to end youth unemployment
We are taking on Steps to Success in May for The King’s Trust – we will each be doing 50,000 steps a week to help transform the lives of young people in the UK.
At a time when 900,000 young people in the UK are out of work – enough to form the UK’s third biggest city, The King’s Trust are committed to ending youth unemployment, and I’m doing my bit to support.
The money raised by taking on this challenge and fundraising for The King's Trust will make a positive difference for young people across the UK
A donation of just £26 could cover the cost of travel for an isolated young person to attend a one-week King's Trust course, helping them build vital skills and gain valuable work experience.
So, whether it’s indoors or outdoors, walking, running or rolling, your money will go a long way in supporting the cause. Every step, and every penny, really does count. Please help me to support The King’s Trust and consider donating to our team's fundraising page.
Thank you.
