• HWLincs
  The HWLincs staff team have used physical activity as a way of being able to bond more as a team. Their employees, trustees and volunteers were invited to share their steps and miles achieved through their daily walking, cycling, swimming and running. The first of their challenges was to travel from Boston in Lincolnshire to Boston USA. Spurred on by this the next challenge was to travel the same distance as the Commonwealth Baton. Little did they realise how far this distance was going to be and how long it would take their small team - but with great efforts they are making inroads and regular updates of their achievements are encouraging their team to get moving much more. For those not wanting to be part of the challenge they have also introduced monthly mindfulness walks.
