Quick Back Story
My name is Ranjit Ghoshal and I am the founder of MillionSteps.com, a Cardiff-based Social Good Start-Up.
My background is in social housing and homelessness prevention. I worked with community groups and sat on the boards of three Wales national charities. And I saw firsthand how difficult it was for both small and large organizations to resource and manage events for fundraising
Critically, I heard from dozens of small to medium-sized businesses that really wanted to help community projects or do social good but also struggled to launch events.
And then … one day I said to myself “Can one person start something that can raise $ 100 million for social good in 5 years?” This became my North Star and guiding principle.
As the idea developed, we worked with a critical vision:
To create a level playing field so the small community group and greengrocer to the largest charity or corporate all have the same powerful tools to support social good.
And we began to build out Millionsteps.com: A platform for launching business and charitable health and wellbeing challenge events at scale for every organization to be part of.
Our core National Walking Challenge will always be One Million Steps. We know how powerful a 100-day celebration of movement and wellbeing actually is for participants.
This is why we have included mindfulness audio and our Fit for 15™ Strength and Conditioning program with videos. We see the challenge as a toolkit for life, not just for participants, but for communities.
We have won an UnLtd award, an award from the School of Social Entrepreneurs, are the only Welsh start-up chosen for Google Launchpad London, and are proud alumni of The Accelerator Academy, London, and ReaktorX Warsaw, Poland
We launched our first trial challenge on 27th Jan 2020 and in just 15 months, we have helped UK non-profits raise £90,000 and our participants have walked over 700 million steps, that’s 14 times around the planet!
At Millionsteps.com we have a deep sense of what our purpose is, and our responsibility to create the level playing field of our vision. We invite you to join us and together fulfill that vision and North Star.
