R. Benson was proud to sponsor the Rennie Grove Chilterns 3 Peak Walk which took place on 11th September to help fund vital care and support for local people living with life-limiting illness.

Our 25 strong team joined the 800 walkers at this annual event and have raised over £3,000, we would like to extend our thanks to all of our very generous colleagues, friends, family and supply chain who have sponsored us.

Collectively we walked a total of 384 miles on the day with three teams taking on routes that were 6.5, 10, and 18miles, all starting at Princes Risborough School and taking in the stunning peaks Chiltern Peaks of Whiteleaf Cross, Coombe Hill and Ivinghoe Beacon. Following the walk, we all got together and enjoyed a well deserved Sunday lunch at a local pub!

 

Tracey Hancock, Director of Fundraising at Rennie Grove Hospice Care, said:  “It was wonderful to see so many people out walking and supporting this event, after a couple of years of disruption caused by the pandemic. It really is a team effort and it wouldn’t be the success that it is without our wonderful sponsors, all the dedicated volunteers and marshals who direct people on the day and, of course, the walkers who take on the challenge. I’d like to thank everybody at R Benson for helping us to raise vital funds to support local people with life-limiting illness.”

Marcus Neal, Director at R Benson, says: “We’re delighted to be sponsoring the Chilterns 3 Peaks Challenge this year. As part of our commitment to give back to the communities that we work in, we aim to support a number of events each year.

“Many of our colleagues have first-hand experience of the amazing work that hospices do, so we really wanted to support our local hospice service this year. Rennie Grove provides invaluable support to adults and children in the local area who have a life-limiting illness and we’re very proud to be supporting its flagship fundraising event.”

 

R. Benson is committed to giving back to the communities we live and work in and our Charity Programme established in 2019 has now raised over £50,000 for good causes. This year we have supported our three charity partners, Rennie Grove, Kids Cancer Charity and Cosmic. Our colleagues have taken part in a variety of events this year including a Tough Mudder, walks, coffee mornings and golf day to raise over £12,000 for our charities.
