Supporting Alzheimers Society
Running for a Cause: James Takes on the South Downs & Arundel Marathon for Alzheimer’s Society
At Walkers Cleaning & Support Services, we believe that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goes beyond accreditations and policies—it’s about action. That’s why we’re proud to support our colleague James as he gears up to run the South Downs & Arundel Marathon on January 26th, 2025. This isn’t just any marathon; James is running to raise funds and awareness for the Alzheimer’s Society, a cause deeply significant to the Walkers family.
Why This Cause Matters
Alzheimer’s disease has touched the lives of many, including our team here at Walkers. It’s a disease that profoundly affects not just individuals but their families and communities. For us, the cause is especially close to our hearts, as our company’s founder, Bernie Walker, sadly passed away from Alzheimer’s. Supporting the Alzheimer’s Society is one way we honour his legacy while contributing to a future where fewer families have to endure this devastating condition.
A Marathon with Purpose
The South Downs & Arundel Marathon is one of the UK’s most scenic and challenging races, winding through picturesque yet demanding terrain. By taking on this physical and mental test, James aims to shine a light on the invaluable work of the Alzheimer’s Society in funding research, providing support, and advocating for those living with dementia.
Leading by Example in CSR
James’ efforts embody our commitment to making a difference beyond the cleaning industry. At Walkers, our approach to CSR isn’t just about sustainable practices or environmental certifications like ISO 14001—it’s also about supporting our people as they champion meaningful causes.
Events like this marathon allow us to connect our values with action, encouraging employees to pursue initiatives that create a broader impact on society. James’ dedication reflects the spirit of our team: striving for excellence not just in our work, but in how we give back to the community.
How You Can Support
We’re inviting our clients, colleagues, and partners to join us in supporting James. Donations to the Alzheimer’s Society will make a tangible difference in advancing research and offering crucial resources to families affected by dementia. Every contribution, big or small, helps bring us closer to a world without Alzheimer’s.

Together, We Can Make an Impact
As James laces up his running shoes, we at Walkers are reminded that our work isn’t just about providing exceptional cleaning and support services—it’s about building a company that cares. Whether it’s through the partnerships we foster, the initiatives we champion, or the steps we take—both literally and figuratively—we’re committed to creating a brighter future for all.
