Bournemouth-based Holt Recruitment Group has completed another epic charity endurance challenge, raising over £7,000 for Home-Start Wessex.
Teams from across the business took on the wilderness-themed ‘Anything but an Ordinary 100 Miles’ endurance challenge designed to test teamwork, navigation, resilience and determination. On the day, each team was dropped at a random, undisclosed location before being tasked with making their way on foot to a designated finish point.
The event marked Holt Recruitment’s latest annual fundraising challenge, continuing a proud tradition of giving back through bold and demanding initiatives. Previous events have included climbing the equivalent height of Everest, completing a 24-hour boxing challenge, rowing the distance around the UK, cycling the equivalent of the Tour de France, and running 1.1 miles every hour for 24 hours.
Karen, Head of Holt Recruitment Group, said: “We’re really proud to support Home-Start Wessex again this year. Their work makes a real difference to local families, and this challenge is a great way for our team to come together and raise money for such an important cause.”
The money raised will help Home-Start Wessex continue its life-changing work, as demand for its services rises amid ongoing cost-of-living pressures. Over the past year, the charity has continued to receive an unprecedented number of referrals for its support.
Caroline Pope, Corporate Partnerships & Marketing Manager at Home-Start Wessex, added, “We have been working with Holt for four years now, and their support has been amazing. All the staff get involved. They’ve done some crazy things over the years for charity, and their fundraising efforts have made a huge difference to local families in crisis.”
