HMRC's walkers go the extra mile
HMRC's Meldrum House Office in Edinburgh features again on the website for its great work for The Lifeboat Fund.

Debs Wilson and I, as Green Reps for HMRC Meldrum House, decided we would like to arrange another event in aid of The Lifeboat Fund.
We decided on a sponsored walk and realised we should arrange this quickly as we were nearing the end of summer and hoping for a dry, warm night.
We decided on a 7 mile walk around Edinburgh after work on Tuesday, 2nd September and enlisted 9 other walkers to join us.
I think we were very lucky as we had lovely weather for our walk and completed the 7 miles in 1hr 45 minutes. We walked up Lothian Road, around The Meadows over to Arthur’s Seat and finished up at London Road/Leith Walk.
We finished off our walk nicely with a small refreshment in a local bar.
Due to the very generous nature of our colleagues and families, we raised a grand total of £820.09!

That's excellent Gayle and the team. You picked a nice route around Edinburgh and raised a splendid donation to help train the RNLI's volunteers!
