Circle Wastes campaign for Norfolk & Waveney Mind

Our charity of the year is Norfolk and Waveney Mind and here at Circle Waste we want to raise awareness and help those who may be struggling.
We look forward to working with Norfolk  and Waveney Mind on this very important movement and raising money for the charity in a number of ways throughout the year.

In January our team took part in Red January, an initiative started by Mind UK to get people moving every day in January with the goal of improving your wellbeing both physically but also mentally. 
Luke and Ali from the office both did exercise every day in January and saw the improvements to their mental health and productivity grow substantially. 

Unfortunately due to bad weather and then the global COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of our fundraising plans have been scuppered this year. We plan however to not let this stop us! 
Since we began raising money for Mind we have grown considerably as a company going from a small bungalow in Downham Market to a large, newly renovated building nearer Kings Lynn with now around 50 staff members. 

This means we can truly fund raise in force! Here are some of our ideas for the future:

- In June 2021 we will be getting together a group to go run a Tough Mudder obstacle course in Grantham. 

- We will be taking any opportunities to be running in 10k runs in aid of Mind.

- An in house 24hr bike ride extravaganza will be attempted in the near future.

- Charity boxing matches are in the ideas hat too!

This charity means a lot to us as a company as we think it's so important to advertise to our team that we believe in having a safe space at work to talk about your mental health - also doing everything we can to boost the morale in the office day to day.

The whole office will be throwing themselves into fund raising and we hope you get behind us! 

Thank you from all of us at Circle Waste!
