| Join Walk Together to support children with cerebral palsy one step at a timeDame Vera Lynn Children’s Charity is calling on the local community to lace up their walking shoes and step forward in support of children with cerebral palsy, chromosome abnormalities and rare genetic disorders that cause physical impairment. |
| There are two routes to choose from, so there’s something for everyone: 5k accessible walk through Bolnore Village, perfect for families, pushchairs, and wheelchair users, and a 15k mixed-terrain trek through Haywards Heath and Bolnore Village for thoselooking to push themselves. Both walks start from Victoria Park in Haywards Heath and promise a scenic route highlighting the fantastic green spaces in our area. Entry is £20 per person. Children under 12 can take part for free, and well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome, making it a great family day out. Rapid Relief will be providing a free BBQ and refreshments at the finish line, and every paying participant will receive a medal to celebrate their achievement. The Dame Vera Lynn Children’s Charity receives no statutory funding and relies entirely on community support to provide its vital services. It costs £600,000 per year to run their sessions, and they provide their services completely free to their families. Each participant is kindly asked to raise £125 to cover the cost of a paediatric physiotherapy session. This could help a child strengthen their muscles, enabling them to sit unaided, pick up an object for the first time, or even take their very first steps. Every pound raised makes a transformational difference as you will be helping children reach their full potential. Not a walker? The charity is looking for volunteers to help with stewarding and event support.
