4energy group, System Five and analytics4energy are proud to support Will Pates as he takes on an incredible challenge this month, walking the full length of Hadrian’s Wall in aid of Veterans Coastal Retreats.
With this week marking Mental Health Awareness Week, it feels particularly important to highlight initiatives like this, encouraging conversation, connection and support through shared experiences and time outdoors.
From 31 May to 5 June, Will, a Coldstream Guards veteran with 24 years of service, will cover 135km from Carlisle to Newcastle to raise awareness and support for veterans and their families facing mental and physical health challenges.
Will’s “Pull Up a SANDBAG” initiative is all about bringing people together through conversation, shared experiences and the positive impact of the outdoors on mental wellbeing. It’s a powerful message and a fantastic cause.
Veterans Coastal Retreats provides veterans and their families with opportunities to rest, reconnect and recover through supportive coastal breaks and outdoor activities, helping to create space for healing and family time.
We’re very happy to support Will’s efforts and would encourage our colleagues, clients and connections to find out more about this brilliant charity and, if possible, support the challenge.
Best of luck to Will and everyone involved!
