Bakers Dolphin supports challenge for local hospice
Weston Hospicecare’s annual Mendip Challenge took place on Sunday 2 June and local business Bakers Dolphin once again provided much-needed transport for charity walkers.
Hundreds of fundraisers took part in the flagship event in aid of the charity, which provides palliative care to people living with life-limiting illnesses in and around Weston-super-Mare.
South West coach operator Bakers Dolphin provided six coaches to assist with the running of the day and transported walkers to starting points in Wells and Cheddar before they began their trek back to the finish line at Weston Cricket Club.
The challenge consisted of four possible routes across the Mendips, covering a variety of different distances depending upon walkers’ abilities – 5 miles, 10 miles, 20 miles and 30 miles. Hundreds of participants took part on the day raising a whopping £48,000.
Bakers Dolphin Sales and Marketing Director, Amanda Harrington, said: “We have supported the Mendip Challenge on behalf of Weston Hospicecare for a number of years now and it is always a fantastic, heartwarming event which raises such vital funds for this charity.
“As a Weston-super-Mare business, Weston Hospicecare has a special place in our hearts and we’re pleased to be a part of this annual challenge.”
