Its back!! The Safe Families Jelly Welly Walk is returning for 2022!
This June we will be gathering across the country, filling our wellies with jelly and going for a squelchy, gloopy 1-mile walk* to raise money for Safe Families. But why? For many of the families that our volunteers come alongside, life is really hard. Its not always obvious that people are struggling.
Imagine seeing someone walking along in their wellies, and then discovering that their wellies are actually full of jelly... and their walk is so much harder because of it!
At Safe Families we'll work with over 2,000 families like that this year. The mum who feels too anxious to leave the house with her children, or the single grandad who had suddenly become a full-time carer to his grandchildren and feels overwhelmed and isolated. We can only continue to support families like this with your help.
This year, the whole of June will be full of Jelly Welly Walks going on all over the UK. Were encouraging you to pick a day that works for your family, church or community group, sign up and well send you everything you need to get started. You could also join in with one of our group walks taking place across the country (see below to find out if there is one in your area).
As you squelch, gloop and slosh along every pound raised will go towards providing the support and connections a family need to help them with the challenges life throws at them.
So...on your marks! Get jelly! Go!
*It could be 1 mile, 3 miles, a marathon it's up to you!
