Virtual Reading to Glasgow challenge for Samaritans · 18 May 2023

Three UK and Samaritans
Campaign by Samaritans (RCN 219432)
Three UK are proud to be supporting Samaritans, to help connect 1 million people to emotional support. Over the next 3 years, Three and Samaritans will support the wellbeing of the nation through expanding support services, resources and fundraising.

Story

As part of Three UK’s ongoing support for our charity partner Samaritans, the Technology Commercial & Governance Team are embarking on a Reading to Glasgow 24hr Virtual Challenge next month during Mental Health Awareness Week.

Like so many people do, the C&G team place a high value on mental wellbeing, which is why they have chosen to take on this challenge. Their focus is to work as one team and help the Samaritans to connect 1 million people to emotional support.

How are they going to do this?

The aim is to run, walk, cycle, and row over a continuous 24 hour period to cover the 405 miles (virtually) between the Three Reading office and Three Glasgow office – phew!

Exercise equipment, kindly loaned to us by Nuffield Health, will be located on the ground floor of our Reading office (the Social Quarter) from 12:30pm May 17th all the way (that’s right, from sunset to sunrise!) through to 12:30pm May 18th. During this time the C&G team will be ‘sweatin’ it out’ to smash their goal, and they would love your support!
