Jurassic Walk 2024 – An Epic Employee Challenge generates over £50,000 of income…

A massive thank you to everyone who took part in our 2024 Employee Challenge – The Jurassic Coast Walk from Weymouth to Swanage.

An incredible effort from our colleagues, covering either 29km from Lulworth Cove to Swanage, or the big 49km from Weymouth, with more than half the group choosing the latter option.

With Gift Aid and Matched Funding included, over £51,000 has been raised for the Foundation, all of which will go to helping grassroots charities working to end loneliness and isolation in older people.

A big thank you to the team from Land and Wave in Swanage who provided the event safety and expert support, and to our fantastic volunteers who covered 15 checkpoints along the way.

Check out the video below, with wonderful poetic narration by Marie Bird, a McCarthy Stone Duty Manager, who took part on the day, raising over £1100!!! Well done Marie!!
