Sole Carers vs Goal Sharers: Our Team Step Challenge Passes One Million Steps

Our step challenge is back, and this year it comes with a twist. After last year's challenge got the whole Care & Carers team moving, we have split into two teams for 2026: the Sole Carers and the Goal Sharers.

The challenge started on 1 November and runs until 13 December. Less than two weeks in, the two teams have already walked more than one million steps between them. Leading the way so far is Loise, with 158,000 steps.

Our carers and office staff are counting every step, whether that is walking between home visits, taking the stairs or heading out for a walk after a shift. Caring for others starts with looking after ourselves, and a bit of friendly rivalry has made it a lot more fun.

There is plenty to play for. When the challenge ends, we will crown a winning team and an overall winner, the person with the most steps of all. Medals and cash prizes are waiting for our champions.

Well done to everyone taking part, and good luck to both teams for the weeks ahead. We will share updates along the way and announce the winners here after 13 December.

From our family, to yours.
