Story

Walk for Calm, October 2020 - in support of Hospitality Action and CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) Full details announced 1st October 2020 Craig explained: ”It’s time to not only highlight the importance of looking after our own mental health, but also promote wellbeing at every opportunity. Walk for Calm is an opportunity to come together to do just that whilst supporting Hospitality Action and CALM and the terrific work they do - please walk, support and donate if you can.” Mark Lewis, CEO, Hospitality Action commented: “Mental health isn’t a destination but rather a journey. These past few months have been trying for us all but especially those working in hospitality. By taking part in the Walk for Calm you’ll be keeping active and engaged, taking care of your own mental health as you take care of others.”   Kathy Dyball, Head of Marketing, Caterer.com commented on their involvement in the initiative: “Hospitality is a sector that relies on the resilience and happiness of its people in order to thrive. It’s a highly rewarding sector to work in, but the demands on hospitality people are high and no more so than in 2020. Caterer.com are fully behind this initiative to bring the sector together to walk for wellbeing and raise awareness and funds for two incredible charities, who work tirelessly to support mental wellbeing and a world in which fewer people die by suicide. Our team will be joining the walks and we hope to see you there!” Jo Simovic, COO, Umbrella Training added “CALM and Hospitality Action are amazing charities that bring crucial help in these times. The isolation that lockdown has brought to people, and the worries about money and survival, are triggers that can have a significant impact on people's mental health. Many people in our sector are facing a challenging time so we have to do our bit to support charities like this as much as possible. Umbrella Training will walk for CALM and Hospitality Action and we invite all of you to join us - every step counts.” Tim Etherington-Judge, Founder, Healthy Hospo concluded “Exercise and physical activity, such as walking, is such an important part of holistic physical and mental health and we're really excited to partner with mum on this fantastic Walk for Calm initiative.” #walkforcalm #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth Please direct any enquiries or questions to craig@workwithmum.com
