Story
A group of team QEH rehab staff are coming together to continue staff promotion of health and exercise, whilst supporting local charities. The QEH involvement with the national re-conditioning games has prompted staff into thinking of their own physical and mental health and then to encourage others to do the same.
2 teams of Physios, OTs and Therapy Assistants are swimming in the relay swimarathon on 25th February , held at St James’ pool to aim to swim as many lengths as possible in 55 mins.
Please help support us and the Break charities .
Break Children's Homes are somewhere safe that children and young people can call home, with adult staff who nurture, care, look after and look out for them. They provide a home environment just like a small family for a maximum of four children and young people aged 7-18 who cant live with their own families. Their homes create a warm and safe environment where children and young people can belong, begin to flourish and embrace their future with confidence and hope.What is the Swimarathon?It is a fun, family day open to to swimmers of all ages and abilities, where teams of 6 swim in relays for 55 minutes to complete as many lengths as possible. The aim of the Swimarathon is to raise as much money as possible for our charities.In 2022 swimmers and sponsorship helped raise in excess of £12,500 and we have high hopes that we can match or better this figure in 2023. Proceeds will go to our main charity Break Children's Homes as well as to other local charities.
