Connect is a Christian based charity that offers professional conselling to the local community. Anyone can self-refer to the charity and often this is for reasons of experiencing anxiety, depression, inability to cope, relationship issues and bereavement. They seek to provide counselling that is accessible to all and aim to offer longer term counselling of up to two years, where needed.

The team have all been walking individually for many years and planned to make this walk together before lockdown . Walking itself is great for mental health, so it seems fitting to make this walk in aid of such a great cause.
