Curam ‘jingles all the way’ and hopes to raise over £1,000 for charity

Workers from the UK’s largest online care platform Curam put their best feet forward on December 11, raising vital funds for veterans’ charity Walking With The Wounded (WWTW) as part of its Walking Home For Christmas campaign. 

Walking Home For Christmas is the charity’s annual, nationwide walking challenge to help wounded veterans re-ignite their sense of purpose and get back on their feet with improved physical and mental health.

The national sponsored event, which is now in its 10th year, involved teams from the care company’s London and Dumfries offices, who collectively clocked up a total of 50 miles as one of 154 teams taking part. 

Staff in east London carried out individual walks, including Curam co-founder Patrick Wallace, who walked from the company’s office in Ashwin Street, Dalston, to Hammersmith. And the Scottish team, headed by Curam director Ben Weatherall, clocked up 12 miles with their countryside walk in Irongray, Dumfries. 

James Davis, Walking With The Wounded events manager, commented: “We are grateful to the staff from Curam for taking on our Walking Home For Christmas campaign. Rain or shine, they have demonstrated unwavering support for veterans and their families. The money raised by the team will go towards our life-changing support programmes and make a real difference to the lives of those who served.” 

Patrick, who spent seven years serving as an officer in the Irish Guards, said: “We are delighted to support Walking With The Wounded and to make this brilliant organisation our chosen charity for Christmas. It does incredible work with veterans and their families, helping people to rebuild their lives and thrive again after leaving the armed services. We look forward to partnering with them further in 2024.”
