To celebrate our 30th year we organised a charity walk for our charities of the year: Lamp and Stonebridge City Farm on 30th March.

Since we’ve been going for 30 years, a 30 mile walk was the perfect way to mark this big occasion whilst also raising money for our charities.

Both Lamp and Stonebridge City Farm are near and dear to our hearts with both charities focussing on support and advocacy for mental health in their communities. Stonebridge City Farm provides an inner city farm in Nottingham for all to enjoy with great volunteering opportunities and support for all and Lamp provides mental health programmes, services and events in the Leicestershire area.

Our Social Committee (Fun at Macs) did a great job of putting together a 30 mile canal-based walk going from Leicester to Nottingham on Thursday 30th March.

Our intrepid walkers set-off first thing and headed out on a walk that took just over 12 hours (with the help of some very sturdy walking boots).

The walk was broken down with several checkpoints along the way at some wonderful eating establishments around the Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire area. This was the perfect way to have a bit of a breather and allow people to join part of the walk.

We’ve already raised over £3,000 for our charities but we’re not stopping just yet. If you’d still like to sponsor us after the event and help us get as much as we can for these great causes; please donate below via one of the links.
