Seven managers from M&S have been triumphant after taking part in a huge hiking challenge.

Determined to raise money for YoungMinds, a mental health charity, staff members from the Havant store climbed the 1,085m mountain last week. Store Manager Lee, Lindsay, Shaun, Dan, Rhian, Molly and James decided to take on the challenge on World Mental Health Day to raise more awareness for the charity.

The team set off at 10am and reached the summit at 2pm, before finishing the walk at 7:30pm – clocking up over 40,000 steps.

Lee Smith, Store Manager at M&S Havant, said: “I couldn’t be prouder of Team Havant. It’s been a fantastic challenge but so incredibly rewarding when we know how worthwhile the cause is and all the great work YoungMinds do for young people’s mental health across the UK.

YoungMinds dedicates itself to supporting children, young people and parents’ mental health.

The group set out to raise £2,000 for YoungMinds – and they have so far raised £2,085 via Just Giving.

M&S announced a new three-year partnership with YoungMinds last October, aiming to raise £5 million to support seven million young people and the adults in their lives through easy to access online resources and its dedicated Parent’s Helpline.
