I will be taking part in the trek in memory of Mark James. Since Mark passed away in March 2021, Strawberry fields has supported me in many ways to cope with my loss. 

In the past twelve months Strawberry Fields have provided me both with emotional support and friendship, through facilitation of a hopefulness course, along with many new and fun opportunities. It is now a place close to my heart where I can go to remember Mark in a happy way. It is a privilege for me to now raise money for such a amazing place.

Strawberry Field is a place to explore, unwind and dream in the place, which inspired one of the 20th century’s greatest songwriters. The iconic site immortalised by John Lennon in The Beatles hit, Strawberry Fields Forever is now open to the public for the very first time. Previously the site of a Salvation Army children’s home where the young John Lennon played in the grounds, Strawberry Field now serves as a unique addition to Beatles tourism. The new site is home to an interactive visitor exhibition, caf, shop, calm garden spaces for spiritual reflection and - at its heart Steps at Strawberry Field, a series of programmes aimed at those with learning difficulties or other barriers to employment.
