Modern Languages Virtual Tour of Europe · 24 April 2020

NHS Charities Together and its members across the UK are hugely grateful for the support received from so many since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Story

Thank you for supporting us on our virtual walking tour of Europe! 

We wanted to collectively do something to raise money for our amazing NHS during this time of crisis... But as modern linguists and global citizens also to show solidarity with our friends and neighbours abroad...

So we have set ourselves the challenge of a metaphorical walk around Europe, with each step earning money to support the incredible work being carried out by NHS key workers - many of whom, of course, come from countries whose citizens are experiencing the same worrying time that we are here in the UK. And we are so grateful for their being a part of our society.

Our ultimate goal is to reach Madrid... 3 million steps from Leicester! Please sponsor us for however much you can :)
