Joshua Tree 7 Day Challenge

We are raising money to supply the Joshua Tree with 10 Sibling Support Bags. These work alongside an 8-week programme tailored to each child whose sibling has been newly diagnosed. Some of the items included are a calming kit, relaxation techniques, feelings jar, worry buddy and lots of other crafts and resources. We will also donate 4 benches for the outdoor areas of the newly built Support Centre.

The Joshua Tree is a Cheshire based Children’s Cancer Charity and our chosen charity for Dow Schofield Watts’ North West Offices. They operate across the North West and North Wales and are dedicated to working closely with families affected by childhood cancers.

We have our first pledge! The Business Recovery team will be doing 10k steps per day for 7 days starting on the 2nd November. Anyone who completes it will donate £5 and anyone who doesn’t will donate £10! Great idea team 💪

Our second pledge is from James Dow! He’ll be doing a 5 a day vegetable challenge this week. £5 a day plus £5 for every missing vegetable each day. This could get expensive very easily! 😂

This week the DSW Ventures team start their 7 day challenge. They’re aiming to cover 100km jointly by walking, running, cycling, rowing and horse riding! We also have Cath Priestly starting her 7 days with her family, they are collectively walking the distance between them and their cousins who live in Cheadle – a total of 35km – who they are missing most over lockdown! Good luck to Keith, David, Ellie and Cath

Last week Transaction Services started their 7 day challenge. As they are a team of 7, they decided to average 7 hours of activity each over 7 days. The Forensic team decided to take on TS at their own game with a similar challenge of 7 days, 7 hours! Let’s see who stuck to it best 😜

Also completing their 7 day challenge today is the Business Planning team who chose to each travel 10,000 steps a day followed by a tipple at the end of the day. We like your style! 🥂
