The Alscot Squatters embarked on PCUK’s campaign 50 Squats a Day in May, supporting people with pancreatic cancer and campaigning for vital research.

The restrictions of the pandemic forced the Alscot team apart during 2020 and much of 2021, and during this time the importance of mental and physical health became much more apparent. It was important for the team to do something that enabled them to join-together and at the same time achieve something worthwhile, for themselves and others. With so much leisure time being spent walking, the team wanted to take on a challenge that involved something other than steps, which is where squatting came along.

Each member of The Alscot Squatters pledged to squat 50 times per day in May and in return raised £2,341 for the charity.
