trundl

We know there's lots of people who won't see their "trundl thank you and round up" as they are off, or just because these days so many emails go into spam or there is an overload and something has got to give we understand that so we're posting our full thank you here in the hopes more people will get to read our thank you. 🦔 Dear lovely trundlr, As the year draws to a close, we wanted to say a massive thank you for all your trundls throughout 2024. From all of us, and on behalf of our charity partners, thank you for being part of something very meaningful. You have clocked up: 🚶🏿♀️109,885 kms of trundling since December 2023 ✔representing 46,209 hours of outdoor exercise 💚and 6,064kg of CO2 saved when you walked rather than drove and helped to donate a total of 🌟 £9,137.49 since we started trundling in 2024. Together, we’ve not just trundled for good causes, but we’ve done our bit for climate change, helping to reduce CO2 emissions. At the heart of trundl is shared positivity, for all our health, for our charity and brand partners, and for the planet. It’s inspiring to see how a united force for good can create such positive outcomes. Looking ahead, 2025 promises to be even more amazing. At trundl, we’re gearing up to introduce more initiatives that strengthen our impact, expand our reach, and increase the contributions we all make to good causes by spreading the word far and wide across the UK. With your continued support, we can continue to make an even bigger difference. Thank you for being a part of what is already a very special trundl community. Here’s to an exciting year ahead, filled with opportunity, purpose, and good health for us all! Hil, Tess and the whole trundl team.

While there's nothing wrong with making ambitious plans and resolutions for the New Year, it's also a good idea to include some that are easy to implement and will have a real impact. Walking more regularly is something that will pay back in dividends to your health and mental wellbeing - particularly if those walks can be made in or near nature. And of course, if you turn your everyday walks into trundls, you will get an extra boost knowing that you're helping some important UK causes. Happy New Year everyone, wishing you great health, good opportunity and much happiness. #healthandwellbeing #charitywalk #NewYear #purpose

Oh heck ❗ 1. If you are reading this post you are very probably working and we hope you haven't got a lot more to do. 2. We're worried! We're not sure now Hil's planted both feet firmly on the floor whether there will be any stopping her! Let's see what this year brings and if we can keep up now that she has one bionic leg. She is talking about plotting and planning to have the other hip done now she knows what "pain free" means and how quick the recovery was. Best get our skates on never mind our walking shoes, we think we may be needing them to keep up with all the plans in the offing for trundl this year. 🌟 #watchthisspace dear trundlrs!

Even the trundl app was impressed by this member's Boxing Day trundl. But more exciting is the fact that, in just 7 days, they have already helped to donate more to charity than their £3.99 monthly fee. This mad maths is thanks to trundl donating 30% of all income and generous brand partners like Sykes Holiday Cottages boosting it further through sponsorship. All trundl members have to do is press 'Go trundling' and add their walks - or runs - of any length towards the distance target. It's our biggest trundl yet, supporting our core outdoor and mobility related charities Trussell, MOVE Against Cancer Charity, The Ramblers, The Tree Council, Dogs for Autism UK, Sussex Wildlife Trust and National Parks UK. Huge thanks to Sykes Holidays and all of our individual and company members who are keeping active and kind across the holidays. #charitywalk #purposedrivenbusiness #kindness #trundl

At this time of year it's easy to defer exercise to January as part of a distant New Year's resolution. But keeping active outdoors is a great way to keep stress levels down, work off excess or work up an appetite. We're now on an 'All Go' trundl for 7 of the charities that we donate to across the year. Generously supported by Sykes Holiday Cottages, a great example of a B Corp company living up to its promise. When members know that their walks add up to donations that they don't have to fundraise themselves, they walk further and more often. This year alone they've trundled over 100,000 kms and saved more than 6,000kg of carbon by walking rather than driving. Do join in if you want to keep active and best wishes for the holidays in the meantime. The trundl team 🎄 National Parks UK, Dogs for Autism UK, MOVE Against Cancer Charity, Trussell, The Ramblers, Sussex Wildlife Trust, The Tree Council #purposedrivenbusiness #charitywalk #charity #healthandwellbeing

If we didn't know better, we could be mistaken for thinking that Hilary Mines has put some pensioners to work while she sat back on her crutches. But we know that Hil's parents have been lifelong hikers and, while they've been happy to go at Hil's current snail's pace, they want to keep their own trundl stats up too. Such brilliant examples to all of us. As Hil says, use it or lose it. Walking is a deceptively powerful form of exercise that does great things for our bodies and minds, inside and out, with minimal chance of injury. So, whether you're already fit or not, do think about how you can incorporate more walking and less driving into your life. Who knows, it may mean that you become fit and feisty into your 80s too 💚 #walking #charitywalk #healthyageing #trundl

Today marks the 75th year since the National Parks Act was passed to establish National Parks, making it easy and free for anyone to access nature. It's hard to imagine what things would be like if this hadn't happened. Because not only did the Act open the countryside up to ordinary people, it also ensured the safeguarding of our most beautiful landscapes for future generations to enjoy. As a post from National Parks Partnerships today shared: 'Created a year after the founding of the NHS, National Parks were intended to be our ‘natural health service’. With over 90 million people visiting the 15 National Parks a year, this 'natural health service' now covers around 10% of Britain’s land, encompassing an incredible range of environments, landscapes and natural heritage. But managing peoples' safety and experience, while also maintaining the Parks and investing in vital regeneration projects, does not come cheap. If you watched last night's Countryfile on the BBC, you will have heard of the funding challenges the National Parks face: "The funding picture for us right now is bleak, but there is so much hope and so many opportunities where we can deliver solutions to these challenges" While trundl is currently only a relatively small donator, we're immensely proud that the National Parks Partnerships team quickly understood our shared values and vision for getting more people out and active in nature. They became one of our first charity partners and have been incredible supporters and advisors across the 3+ years that we have trundled for them. We'll be trundling again for the National Parks UK over the holidays as part of our biggest 'All Go' fundraiser for all of our charity partners. This is generously sponsored by Sykes Holiday Cottages, who have supported many of our trundls for UK National Parks too. Do join in if you can and turn your everyday walks into donations for this brilliant and important cause 💚 #trundl #charitywalk #esg #purposedrivenbusiness

Here's our Hil, Hilary Mines, chatting about the shocking statistics that Trussell published recently. Every penny counts for foodbanks at the moment. So, with that in mind, we are doing a short 10-day trundl dash for Trussell until midnight on the 19th December. trundl members can get a brain break from their desks or daily lives by taking stroll or walking the dog, repurposing any walk into a donation by pressing GO on the trundl app. With membership costing less than £1 a week, we regularly raise between £700 - £1000 every month as a community, without anyone having to fundraise themselves. Do join in if you also fancy turning your steps into good deeds ❤️ #esg #csr #walkingforhealth

This is certainly a hip-hip-hooray moment as Hilary Mines achieves her goal of making it to the post box. Anyone who saw the video last week will know that it was about 900m away from her circuit, but by being at the top of a slight slope, had been too challenging for her new hip. But being Hil and determined, she made it this week and was thrilled to achieve a simple task like posting cards and letter on her own. Even more delighting is the encouragement from complete strangers who've been observing her daily walks on crutches. And as these short journeys have of course been trundls, Hil still feels that they're meaningful in other ways by adding pennies and - now - kilometres to the trundl donation and distance targets for Trussell. Brava Hil and keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep trundling #rehab #arthritis #charitywalk #foodbanks
