Colleagues at Southport-based care provider Dovehaven Care Homes are taking on a 460 mile walking challenge for National Heart Month.
Throughout the month of February, people from the organisation will be collectively walking 460 miles to raise awareness of heart related illnesses, and encourage cholesterol lowering habits for their employees.
Dovehaven is taking on this challenge as part of Heart UK’s Challenge 46 for National Heart Month.
The number 46 recognises the 460 people who die each day in the UK due to heart related diseases.
Heart health is an important issue for the organisation. Throughout the group’s 20 care homes, there are many colleagues and residents who are affected by heart related diseases.
As a leading care provider in the region, Dovehaven prioritises the wellbeing of its employees, so that it can continue to take excellent care of the residents in their care homes.
Coinciding with the month of Valentine’s Day, Dovehaven will be championing all things related to matters of the heart.
During the month, Dovehaven will be sharing advice and guidance on social media, for how people can lower their cholesterol and improve the health of their hearts.
Dovehaven’s challenge to travel 460 miles as an organisation will be documented on social media, with an active presence on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
