10k Steps Challenge
Challenge yourself to take 10,000 steps every day for one month. Every step and penny will go towards additional items to enhance the care in the BEACH Building at Royal Bournemouth Hospital. Together we can transform care for Dorset.
These items include items like an additional CT scanner to help scan an extra 15,000 patients a year, indoor and outdoor play areas, a classroom for children and a wellbeing garden to bring fresh air to people in critical care. Ultimately, we can further enhance the hospital experience for patients, our NHS staff and every visitor that comes through our doors.
As part of The BEACH Appeal, we are calling everybody across Dorset to get involved in raising £1.5 million for future facilities in the new departments for Births, Emergency, Critical Care and Children’s Health. We cannot do this alone.
Our NHS colleagues, from our dedicated porters to our phenomenal nurses—walk an average of 10,000 steps each shift to care for their patients. Sign up now to challenge yourself to match their average daily steps for one month!
It's your choice
- Choose which month of the year you do it – as long as you walk 10,000 steps every day.
- Choose to walk indoors or outdoors at any time of day, at your own pace.
- Choose to do it as your own personal challenge or together with friends.
All we ask is you try to get as much sponsorship from your friends and family who are behind your challenge for The BEACH Appeal. If you raise £100, you’ll earn a well-deserved medal.
When you sign up, you will get a welcome letter, step tracker, sponsorship form, and pin badge.
