The Children’s Trust charity is calling for supporters to join them in the Spring on a sponsored walk through a section of the Surrey Hills, an Area of Outstanding Beauty.
The Surrey Hills Hike this Spring will start and finish at The Children’s Trust headquarters in Tadworth, Surrey, on the 12 March 2023.
All the family are welcome, babies and dogs included, with options including a five or ten-mile route.
Marguerite, a local supporter who took part last year with her daughter Tess, says: “Don’t think twice, sign up now! My eight-year-old daughter Tess was the driving force in us taking part. She was keen to do something to benefit children and young people with brain injury so jumped at the chance. Being able to take our dog along too was an added bonus. It was easy walking with lots of lovely volunteers posted along the way to stop you getting lost. I had a really lovely experience.”
There is also a ‘1K your way’ option around the residential roads of Tadworth which is a fully accessible one-kilometre route suitable for buggies and wheelchairs.
Keren Holding, Activity and Leisure Lead at The Children’s Trust, commented: “We are thrilled that this year’s event features a new fully accessible route for wheelchairs. We love to offer the children and families we support the opportunity to get out and about in the local community to support their wellbeing and rehabilitation.”
Katie Roberts, Head of Volunteer Fundraising at The Children’s Trust, says: “Our Surrey community has always been amazing at supporting us, so we’re excited to offer this opportunity for them to come together, explore the great outdoors with friends and family and meet new friends along the way.”
