How Things Started

Things tend to snowball quite quickly in the Personnel Checks office, and our entry to Tough Mudder is no different.

What started as a simple fitness challenge between Erin and Tyra quickly expanded into a team effort. Now, 8 members of the Personnel Checks team are committed to tackling Tough Mudder in aid of Lancashire Mind.

Why Mind?

NHS figures show the prevalence of mental health conditions is significantly higher in Lancashire than the national average. While at Personnel Checks, we’re committed to supporting the mental health and well-being of our team, we know that not everyone has the same access to support. This is why we’re fundraising for Lancashire mind.

Lancashire Mind supports businesses, schools, public sector and voluntary sector organisations across the county to create mentally healthy environments. They offer training, coaching and various workplace programmes to support people across Lancashire. 

How are we raising money?We need to raise a minimum of £190pp to be able to run in support of Lancashire Mind.As well as this JustGiving page, we have a range of events planned to help raise money for this fantastic cause.First up, we have a ‘mud’ themed bake-off event later in the year. 

Our last bake-off raised around £200. If we match this again, we’ve already got one entrant covered! This is being followed by our office pyjama day. We already have a casual dress code, so coming to work in our pyjamas is the only way we can offer people a more comfortable day in the office. Over the next few months we’re also running, a Eurovision sweepstakes, a sponsored beard grow, as well as hounding our friends and families for donations. If you could spare a donation to help us reach our £1520 we’d be forever grateful!
