What could be nicer than taking a stroll around some beautiful grounds on a spring day in the sunshine? How about knowing you’re helping to raise money for a worthy cause at the same time? With our new addition to the Family Fun Day, we’re bringing that to life.
We’re asking you to loop the lake once, twice, or as many times as you like; and to raise sponsorship from your friends and family for doing so. Do it as a family; with a friend; with your dog; or on your own. Whatever suits you best.
To keep things simple, there’s no entry fee to take part; no set time to begin; no prizes for the fastest circuit; and no expectations on the number of laps you complete (although there may well be small prizes for children who perform exceptionally well). Simply enjoy a beautiful one-mile circuit around the lake, filled with fresh air, community spirit, and a shared purpose.
All we ask is that you download the sponsorship form and gather a few friends and family who will agree to sponsor your walk. And don’t forget to ask them to tick the Gift Aid box if they are UK taxpayers. We get 25p from the Government for every £1 donated in this way.
You can bring your sponsorship forms and money with you on the day or send it in afterwards.
Our target for this first walk is to raise £5000, which would allow us to run an additional Time to Retune break this year. If 100 individuals or groups raised £50 each, we would hit our target. But, as always, every penny counts. If £50 is too high, try for £20, £10 or even £5. On the other hand, if £50 seems too easy a target, go for it. The sky’s the limit.
