STAFF at a Hampshire office have completed over 4 million steps in a month to help support young people.

Employee's at Utilita's head office in Chandler's Ford have been taking part in the 'Future Steps' fundraiser, challenging them to take 10,000 steps-a-day throughout February.

The award-winning customer service team at the office, nicknamed the ‘Headset Heroes’, walked on the spot whilst answering customer calls, in a mission to reach their 10,000 steps-a-day target, from the safety of their home.

They each clocked up to 10,000 steps a day over 28 consecutive days throughout February, resulting in 144K steps a day and over 4 million steps in total.

Through an online fundraiser, the team have now raised over £400 for The Prince's Trust which works with young people all over the UK to build their confidence and skills and supports them into jobs, education and training.

Kelly Kane, Team Leader of the Future Steps team at Utilita’s Head Office in Eastleigh, said: “There’s never been a more crucial time than now to support the younger generation, which is why we’ve been working with The Prince’s Trust to do all we can to support them, including taking part in Future Steps powered by Utilita."

Across the company, a total of 20 teams and 12 individuals also got involved in the fundraiser, taking a total of 27.5m steps and raising nearly £3.5k across all its teams in the UK.

Laura Heaton, Head of Employee Engagement at The Prince’s Trust said she is "enormously grateful" to partners like Utilita and its staff, for supporting trust and raising money for young people.
