Impressions Care Solutions ‘Squat Squad’ Raises Over £1,000 for Cancer Research UK

A massive congratulations to the team at Impressions Care Solutions for an incredible February fundraising effort in support of Cancer Research UK.

Throughout the month, Karen Shillcock (Business Development Manager) took on Cancer Research UK’s February challenge by committing to complete squats every day. What started as a personal goal quickly turned into a team mission when colleagues Shannon Gray and Becky Morgan joined in — forming the brilliant “Squat Squad”.

Together, the trio pushed through the challenge day after day, completing 100 squats per day and inspiring support from across their workplace and wider circles. Their original fundraising goal was modest, but their determination (and consistency) helped them smash past it.

By the end of February, the Squat Squad had raised an impressive £1,180.69 for Cancer Research UK.

Karen said:

“What started as a personal challenge quickly became a team effort. It hasn’t been easy, but the encouragement and generosity we’ve received has been incredible, and it’s made every squat worthwhile.”

As well as raising money for a vital cause, the team also shared that the challenge brought some unexpected positives — including feeling fitter and more energised — and they’re planning to keep their daily squats going during office break times.

From all of us at Hot Radio, congratulations again to Karen, Shannon and Becky. What a brilliant example of local people doing something simple, consistent, and genuinely impactful.
