LATEST NEWS FROM JOHN BARON ON OUR UPCOMING CHARITY FUN WALK IN SEPTEMBER

Just some of our two thousand contributors to the last charity fun walk

John Baron MP: 2018 Fun Walk Bonus Pot starts well

John appreciates donors and says more still to decide their contribution for our 16th year

John Baron MP today announced the Fun Walk Bonus Pot has already exceeded £22,000 and will rise further as a number of donors have yet to decide how much they will contribute. Each year, the bonus pot pays a bonus to the participating charities/projects over and above what they raise themselves in sponsorship.

 In 2017, for every £100 raised in sponsorship by the various projects themselves, the bonus pot added a further £55. The Walk is set for 2nd September, again at Barleylands Farm – a factsheet is attached. 

John said: The generosity of our Bonus Pot sponsors is appreciated by everyone. In addition to Barleylands Farm for hosting the Walk, our thanks go to this year’s sponsors so far –Billericay Football Club, c2c, Hallmark Care Homes, McDonald’s and others. It has started well, with a number of other donors still to decide how much they will contribute.
