More than 150 employees from regional law firm Foot Anstey went the extra mile for charity and raised more than £14,000 by walking between its five South West offices.
The 208-mile trek – which started in Truro and ended in Bristol – smashed their fundraising target by 40%. It took place over two weeks earlier this month. 
The adventure raised money for the Foot Anstey foundation, which is managed by the Devon Community Foundation, in conjunction with other community foundations across the region.
The foundation supports a number of charities across the South West which are chosen by Foot Anstey staff in its offices. As well as Bristol and Truro, these are in Plymouth, Exeter and Taunton.
Throughout the feat, participants were supported by Devon-based Dynamic Adventures, which arranges corporate and educational outdoor adventures. It helped plan the route and led each day’s walk.
Foot Anstey corporate social responsibility (CSR) partner Peter Singfield said: “This is the first time we’ve undertaken such a huge firm-wide fundraising project and the support from suppliers, clients and staff alike has been fantastic.
“Dynamic Adventures, who led us each day, commented what a great effort every single person put in. “We walked through some pretty tough terrain with people walking between 15 to 25 miles and for up to 11 hours each day. 
“It’s all been worth it for the money raised and, in turn, the support we will be able to give charities across the region.
“All that is left to say is thanks for the support, and well done everyone who took part.”
Devon Community Foundation marketing manager Laura Hewitt said: “We are all about giving more locally and this walk really shows Foot Anstey’s commitment to supporting the causes closest to their hearts and homes.
“Working together we really can make a big difference to the future lives of those in need across the region.”
