Field Sales Solutions proudly went the distance to raise an incredible £8.9k in aid of GroceryAid!

Field Sales Solutions employees set off on a journey to travel as many miles as possible from 1st – 28th February in aid of GroceryAid and today on GroceryAid day we are proud and delighted to announce that we have raised £8,968 in aid of the charity!

Our fundraising journey was a companywide initiative which saw all areas of our business, across our head office and field teams, working together as one team with one clear goal – to raise money and awareness for the incredible industry charity GroceryAid.

We were determined from the start!

On the 1st February we set off on a journey to travel from Lands’ End to John O’ Groats but within 2 weeks we had exceeded all expectations and managed not just the ‘end to end’ challenge but a full round trip – in fact we travelled 2,787 miles! 

In week 3 we took on a fresh challenge and set off on a ‘capital to capital’ journey, a route that would take 1,428 miles , so our next goal was to see how many laps we could complete. Once again the team embraced the challenge and achieved 2 full laps in 1 week – travelling an amazing 2,591 miles! 

We took ownership of every challenge we faced and with each obstacle came a renewed focus to not only deliver…but exceed expectations!

By the third week  of the journey the team had managed a breath taking 5,378 miles in aid of GroceryAid exceeding all expectations! But we still had our final week to complete and so we set off for the final time on a journey that would see us go the distance to truly make a positive difference for GroceryAid.

Check out our update below to find out how we got on in our final week:

This company fundraiser has been more than a journey of miles, but a true team adventure!

In doing this challenge we have seen so many positive outcomes including:

• Heightened awareness of GroceryAid services and support –  we are extremely proud to have been recognised by GroceryAid with a gold award for our support and the results achieved are absolutely testament to how much people within our organisation value GroceryAid.
•  A renewed focus on wellbeing & the benefits of getting active – through the wind, rain and snow the team have continued to get out, get active and go the distance for GroceryAid.
• One Team, One Goal – from socially distanced walks, to healthy team competition we have been unified as a business, at a time when we are apart. We have worked together to deliver something we are all extremely proud of.
