Housebuilding Team Walk Over 8,000 Miles For Sheffield Children's Hospital

A Yorkshire housebuilding team, that has developments across the region, took part in its most recent corporate fundraising challenge to raise vital funds for its 2024 chosen charity, Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity.

Miller Homes head office challenged all its Yorkshire region to take part in ‘Active April’ - a month long steps count challenge - where employees log steps in order to improve health and wellbeing and provide a cash boost for their chosen regional charities. The Yorkshire team stepped up to the challenge and collectively walked over 8,300 miles!

“This is one of our favourite fundraising challenges of the year, as we get to walk and chat to colleagues at lunchtimes during our working week, as well as adding in more steps at weekends to raise as much money as possible,” said Debbie Whittingham, Regional Sales Director, Miller Homes Yorkshire. “We are absolutely thrilled to have raised £8,315 for the Sheffield Children’s Hospital, a charity close to our hearts, and those of the community which we are proud to be part of.”

For each mile an employee walks during the challenge, Miller Homes donates £1 to the chosen regional charity.

For April 2024, a national target of 60,000 miles was set, thereby equating to a donation of £60,000 to the group’s chosen charities. Employees throughout the UK smashed this target, clocking up a phenomenal 82,228 miles, meaning there has been an overall donation of £82,228 for chosen regional charities.

Debbie added; “This was a fantastic effort by our Yorkshire team, but also everyone in the wider Miller Homes group. So many charities across the country have benefitted and we look forward to taking part in more fundraising challenges during the year.”

Miller Homes currently has ten developments located across the Yorkshire region.
