MORE than 30 members of staff from local health and wellbeing organisation Benenden Health took to York’s historic bar walls to raise money for York Mind.
Staff, including Benenden CEO Bob Andrews, left their desks early on Friday to walk two miles along the walls that surround the city, and celebrate mental health awareness week.
They were joined by staff and volunteers from York Mind.
Mr Andrews said: “It was fantastic to see so many colleagues from Benenden come together and lead the way for such an important charity. I was proud to be part of it.
"This walk was a great opportunity for the team to improve their own health and wellbeing, and give back to a valuable cause. We enjoyed getting to know each other a little better, giving us time to talk away from our desk.”
Everyone was welcome to join the walk for a voluntary donation of £5, which raised more than £1,000 for York Mind.
