This year, Sarova Hotels participated in the annual Walk and Explore Charity Event, hosted by The Children's Society. The Children's Society is a leading London based children's charity committed to making childhood better for all children in the UK, providing targeted, immediate and lasting help for children who feel excluded, isolated or abandoned; children who live in a vicious circle of fear and harm, and who are faced with a lifetime of danger and disadvantage in their daily lives.
The following four members of staff, from Sarova Hotels, participated in the event that took place on Saturday 12th September 2009: Sarisha Naidoo, Ola Olayera, Ian Kingston and Kenny McBean. The walk commenced at 10.30am and walkers were able to choose the route/distance they wanted to walk on the day.
The 5 mile route started outside the Tate Modern Bankside, and proceeded across Millennium Bridge, around St. Paul’s Cathedral, down to HMS Belfast, across Tower Bridge, past the Tower of London and Monument, across London Bridge and past Borough Market, across London Bridge again and along the waterfront back to the Tate Modern.
The day proved to be great fun, with walkers encouraged to explore the attractions by answering a questionnaire about the places of interest they passed along the route. And in the end, we all collected a well deserved soft drink and a medal for our efforts.
“It was a great team building effort that allowed us to do something worthwhile and raise money for Children in the process!”
Sarova Hotels raised a total of £374.00 through internal fundraising amongst staff… money that can hopefully be put to better use helping the children in need!!
