Tesco colleagues across Buckinghamshire are stepping out to make a difference.

They are taking part in a 13-mile sponsored walk on 1 July, with the aim of helping to raise over £300,000 for Cancer Research UK.

The fundraiser is part of a wider initiative involving a total of 800 colleagues from Central England and South Wales, and builds on the success of last year’s event.

Nicola McGuinness, Tesco South Wales Store Director, said: “The scale of support for this year’s walk has been fantastic.

"Our Community Champions and store teams have put a huge amount of work into organising fundraising activity, bringing colleagues together and helping create real momentum across the region.

"It is a strong reflection of the dedication our teams show to supporting good causes in the communities they serve.”

Ahead of the sponsored walk, store teams and Community Champions will lead a programme of in-store and local fundraising activities to raise awareness and encourage donations across the wider community.

Claire De Silva, Head of Community at Tesco, added: “At Tesco, we are committed to supporting the communities we serve and the charity partners we work alongside.

"This fundraising walk is a great example of how colleagues can make a meaningful contribution through collective action, and we are proud to support everyone taking part across Buckinghamshire.”

Funds raised will help Cancer Research UK continue to advance research that is improving the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Anyone able to support the campaign or make a donation can visit their local Tesco store.
