Abacus Hosts Sport & Leisure Sector Walk in the Peak District

Abacus recently invited clients and consultants from across the Sport & Leisure sector to take part in a sector-focused walk arranged in partnership with Freshwalks.

Abacus recently invited clients and consultants from across the Sport & Leisure sector to take part in a sector-focused walk arranged in partnership with Freshwalks.

Set against the backdrop of the Peak District, the 13.5km route took the group from Hathersage up to Higger Tor, through Padley Gorge, with a halfway break in the gardens of The Maynard in Grindleford, before returning via a riverside path.

The event offered more than just great views and conversation. It was a conscious move towards promoting work-life balance and recognising the importance of mental and physical wellbeing — core themes across the Sport England strategy and increasingly vital to how businesses support both their people and their clients.

With many participants meeting in person for the first time, the day gave space to connect away from screens, reflect, and reset. And with sunshine and clear skies throughout, it was a great reminder of the value in getting outside, staying active, and investing time in relationships — both professional and personal.
