Antalis marches for MIND
Antalis UK raised £3,214 for MIND through a walking challenge organised by regional business director Gary Tilbrook. Throughout May, the Antalis team walked the distance from Dublin to every single one of the company’s sites; equating to 1,614 miles! For every mile capped, Antalis donated £2 to MIND, a charity that provides advice and support to anyone experiencing a mental health problem.
The challenge began on May 10 in conjunction with Mental Health Awareness week. After speaking to his team about the effects of COVID-19 on their mental wellbeing, Mr Tilbrook came up with the idea of raising money for MIND, which continuously campaigns to improve mental health services, raise awareness, and promote understanding.
