This yearâs 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 âgrand
revealâ of the amount raised at their Celebration Evening on November 29th.
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:
âThis yearâs 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.â
âThe 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,

âWe 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.â
