  • Hello from Penzance! Staff here at YMCA Cornwall and Mullion YMCA just thought we would share with you that we are currently taking part in a Pedometer Challange where in teams, we are Walking the equivalent of The South West Coast Path and maping our route at certain stages to see who gets there first. At the end of the challenge, we all have a Bbq and presentation of awards and medals. We have found this to be a great staff team building 'bit of fun' and have found it encourages us all to get out there and take in some fresh air! Winners all round!
