OUR 2024 FUN WALK: ALL SET FOR THE "GRAND REVEAL" ON FRIDAY 29 NOVEMBER


This year’s Fun Walk saw 90 local charities and community groups registered and an estimated 3,000 supporters take part in sponsored walks across Essex. The participating organisations are currently collecting their sponsorship money, and the Fun Walk team is set for a ‘grand reveal’ of the amount raised at their Celebration Evening on November 29
th.

The Fun Walk Trust helps charities, local schools and churches, grass roots sports teams and other community groups raise funds for their projects and initiatives, and a Bonus Pot sponsored by local businesses tops up the amount each organisation raises themselves.

 John Baron, Chair of the Fun Walk Trustees, said:

“This year’s event looks as if it will be even more successful than last year, and we are delighted so many charities and good causes will be able to use the Fun Walk to boost their fundraising efforts.”


“The photos we received of the various sponsored walks completed around Essex have been wonderful and we are happy to share some of the highlights. To see more photos and learn about the Fun Walk, please visit our website: www.thefunwalktrust.co.uk”

“We could not hold this event without the generous support of local businesses who sponsor the Bonus Pot. They include Greater Anglia, Sanctuary Housing Association, Brown & Carroll, Butyl Products Group, Tunnelcraft, IFE Global Logistics, Mr Barrie Stone and other individuals. Our thanks go to them all.”

WELL - YOU HAVE YOUR PUMPKIN, NOW GET COOKING!

This time of year reminds me of spending Halloween in Kansas, long before England caught on to the idea of generally marking this weird old slice of tradition.   At least I was given the pumpkin before I started peeling (hacking away at it), and turning it into soup and pumpkin pies, oh, and little pots of jam. My recipes were included in a sweet little book published by The Telegraph that autumn!
