Weston-super-Mare operator Bakers Dolphin recently worked to support Weston Hospicecare’s Mendip Challenge by providing eight coaches to transport fundraisers trekking across the Mendips.
Those individuals covered a variety of distances, depending on their abilities, to help raise money for the charity. It provides palliative care for people with life-limiting illnesses in and around Bakers Dolphin’s hometown. The Challenge contributes tens of thousands of pounds every year, and in 2022 it took place without restrictions for the first time since 2019.
Bakers Dolphin transported walkers who were taking on longer, 20- and 30-mile challenges to their starting points in Wells and Cheddar.
Says Sales and Marketing Director Amanda Harrington: “We are proud and privileged to support such a worthy cause, which makes a positive different to the lives of so many people in and around the town where we have our headquarters.
“There is always a great atmosphere on board the coaches, with growing anticipation among the walkers about the challenge that lies ahead of them, and it was heart-warming to see the event take place with no restrictions this year.
“We feel honoured to be associated with Weston Hospicecare’s Mendip Challenge.”
