Not content with supporting major charity events like Comic Relief, employees at Loop were also eager to put their best foot forward and support Sports Relief 2008 which took place on March 14th.

Over 150 employees, donned their walking boots as they collectively walked around 200 miles in their breaks to raise money for Sport Relief, raising over £700 for the charity.

A specially-built course was constructed around the companys offices at Midpoint in Thornbury and Bangor, North Wales where staff were encouraged to donate a pound to take part in the challenge. Employees who didnt feel up to the task had the opportunity to sponsor a colleague.

Other activities that took place on the day and which contributed to the £700 raised were a raffle and a casual clothes day where employees paid £1 to wear their jeans for the day!

Tim Sheer, challenge organiser said: "At Loop we are always looking for opportunities to help raise money for worth while charities like Sport Relief. Our staff gave up their lunch breaks to take part in one of the biggest challenges we have attempted at the company so far.

"Some staff really took to the challenge, competing with each other to see who could walk the furthest.  The star walker was Chris Wiles,  planning team leader who walked four miles but many more employees also walked 2 or 3 miles. Were delighted with the support that walkers and non-walkers alike gave us, raising such a fantastic amount for the event."
