Since 1988, St Luke’s has been providing palliative care, supporting people in ways which go beyond the scope and funding of the NHS. Last year they supported over 1,000 people with a huge range of support from end of life care on their ward to supporting carers, and from helping children cope with grief to helping patients return to work after an illness. They are a charity and provide all care for free, so they rely on the generosity and commitment of their supporters to raise more than 80% of their costs.

At HVAC UK (Carrier Corporation) we decided to use a team building event to help raise funds for this charity, so we invited all employees from the group companies of: Toshiba, Carrier, CIAT, SLD, Carrier Rentals & Watkins Hire to walk, jog or run each day during the month of April to help achieve 50,000 miles covered by the team. Supported by our company who will donate £750 towards the charity to help kick start the event.
