The 247 Challenge

Our commitment to helping people improve their everyday lives doesn’t just apply to our customers, it’s about our community too. 

The Coronavirus crisis has highlighted the importance of community more than ever before. But it’s the incredible work of our NHS heroes that has really struck a chord with us. It’s impossible to see the work they’ve been doing - and hear their stories from the front line -without being inspired and compelled to help. 

That’s why we decided to launch The 247 Challenge.

Inspired by the London Marathon’s 2.6 Challenge (but with a 247 twist), we’re asking our team to take on individual 247-themed challenges throughout May, and make a donation to raise money for the Manchester Foundation Trust, a charity that supports NHS hospitals across Greater Manchester. And the business will be matching every donation made. 

Up for the challenge? Here are just a few of the things you could do: 

Run 2.47 miles (or 24.7 miles in the month if you’re feeling ambitious)

Wear fancy dress for 24.7 hours

Climb 247 steps

Take a vow of silence for 24.7 hours 

Dance without stopping for 24.7 minutes

Walk 24.7K steps in a day

Do a movie marathon for 24.7 hours 

Or simply donate £13 (the sum of 2+4+7) 

There are no limits. Be creative and get your friends and family involved too - the more the merrier!
