Story

On 12th July, 60 employees from Hughes will join in a 57 miles walk in 24 hours from Felixstowe to Lowestoft to raise monies for The Benjamin Foundation. Hughes is a long term supporter of this charity which helps vulnerable young people in East Anglia and will match every pound raised by the walkers.

Each night The Benjamin Foundation accommodates 180 young people, equating to over 50,000 safe nights sleep a year. They can finally feel safe from youth homelessness.

Each week 150 young people access their wellbeing support, helping them to finally feel understood.

Each year over 250 young people attend their youth work, helping them to finally feel confident.

We will be walking all 57 miles and by making a donation to my fundraising page which Hughes will match, you will be helping young people finally feel hopeful of a better future.

To go a step further Hughes has kindly offered to match each pound donated up to £15,000 meaning your donation is effectively doubled.
