Walking for the people who give everything
At Nursem, nurses and midwives are at the heart of everything we do. Through the Nursem Promise, for every product sold, we give a month's worth of free hand cream to a nurse or midwife; because caring for those who care for us matters deeply to us.
So when we heard about Cavell's Purple Walk, our team wanted to get involved. Not as an official partnership, just as a group of people who care, lacing up our trainers on our own time to show up for the nursing and midwifery community. The Nursem Promise is how we give back through our business, but this felt like a chance to give back in a more personal way too.
If you'd like to join us, or simply want to know more about a really wonderful cause, read on.
About Cavell

Cavell's Purple Walk, 6th May
Get together with colleagues, friends and family on Wednesday 6th May and step up for nurses and midwives.
The challenge is simple: complete 15,000 steps, wear something purple, and raise money to support nurses and midwives facing a crisis. Nurses can clock up 15,000 steps over the course of a busy 12-hour shift, giving everything to ensure their patients receive the care they need. On 6th May, Cavell is inviting you to walk a day in a nurse's footsteps and raise money to support them.
You can take part wherever you are; with colleagues, family or friends. To join in, simply register and pay the Β£10 entry fee. If you'd like to go the extra mile, you can also set up your own fundraising page.
What if 15,000 steps feels like a stretch?
Everyone is welcome, whatever your pace or ability. Here are a few ways to make it work for you:
Share the 15,000 steps across your walking group, with each person covering 1,000 or 5,000, for example. Walk in nature, around town, or even within your home or office. And remember, 15,000 steps is roughly 10km, you can cover the distance in whatever way suits you best.
