CDS Print Services Walks to the North Pole | Supporting the Trussell Trust with Festive Step Challenge
In November 2025, CDS Print Services launched an exciting Festive Step Challenge to raise funds for the Trussell Trust, our chosen charity for the year. The goal was ambitious: as a team, we aimed to walk the equivalent distance from our Aylesbury facility to Santa’s Workshop in the North Pole — more than 5 million steps or 2,500 miles. This challenge combined charity fundraising, team wellbeing, and a festive spirit that brought colleagues together.
Despite the cold and unpredictable winter weather, our 14 dedicated team members each completed over 100,000 steps (50 miles).
Top Performers:
The Trussell Trust operates a network of 1,400+ food banks across the UK, providing emergency food parcels and practical support to people in crisis. Their mission is to end the need for food banks by tackling poverty and financial hardship. CDS Print Services is proud to partner with them through fundraising and volunteering.
Beyond raising money, the challenge brought our team together. From Peak District hikes to Lake District treks and walks across Yorkshire, this initiative showcased resilience, camaraderie, and wellbeing.
We’re stepping into 2026 with more charity challenges, wellbeing initiatives, and community impact projects. Stay tuned for our next big adventure!
