Let's Move a Million Miles for Charity!
We've set a very ambitious goal - our community in Kent covering one million miles for local charities! Launched in the Summer of 2023 you can take part in any way you wish - walking, running, cycling, swimming - outdoors or in the gym, in the garden, on the golf course, on the football pitch - however you feel you can get involved.
Everyone can contribute to the Million Miles target. The more unusual the better - if you want to cartwheel round the garden? no problem; pogo stick to school? absolutely. Climb the stairs a hundred times? Excellent! Limited Mobility? How many steps do you do when mowing the lawn? - it all counts!
In 2023 we raised over £8,000 - the primary beneficiaries being mental health and homeless charities in our district (Folkestone, Hythe and surrounding areas). Our main objective for 2024/2025 is to support a new initiative giving the homeless and vulnerable in our district a base from which to rebuild their lives.
