On Friday 7 August, the Showersave team took advantage of the lovely weather and headed out for a leisurely walk straight from work.
Taking on the Albert Village and Conkers Loop, the group enjoyed a circular route that took just over two hours. The dogs even made the most of the sunshine with a paddle in the water, while our youngest team member, aged nearly four, enjoyed plenty of exploring after recently having the stabilisers taken off his bike. A big well done to him for joining us!
The walk was a great opportunity to catch up, enjoy the scenery and spend some time together as a team. Collectively, we covered more than 41 miles.
The walk is part of our Miles That Matter challenge, with Showersave teams across Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the Netherlands lacing up their walking boots throughout 2026 to collectively walk more than 1,000 miles.
As we clock up the miles, we’re also raising funds for three incredible local charities, supporting causes that are close to our head offices across our three nations.
We’re proud to be working together, staying active and making every mile count for charities that make a real difference in our local communities.
One team. Three nations. More than 1,000 miles. Making every mile matter.
The Charities We’re Supporting
All funds raised will support three fantastic local charities:
- Team GB: South Derbyshire CVS
- Team NI: Pretty ’n’ Pink
- Team Dutch: Stichting Kinderkampen
At the end of 2026, the total amount raised will be split equally between the three charities.
Team GB: South Derbyshire CVS
Team Northern Ireland: Pretty n Pink
Team Netherlands: Stichting Kinderkamp Zuid-Oost Drenthe
Fundraising | JustGiving
We’ve set up a dedicated GB Showersave JustGiving page, and Holland Fundraising Page where colleagues, partners, friends, and family can sponsor our walkers and support the cause.
Every donation, big or small, helps us maximise the impact of every mile walked.
What Happens Next?
After each walk, we’ll be sharing updates as our miles total increases and our fundraising grows.
Thank you for supporting Miles That Matter and helping us make a difference—one mile at a time.
