Story

RAISING MONEY FOR NOTTS COUNTY FOUNDATION, MENCAP METIME AND FORGET ME NOTTS.


Notts County Foundation, Mencap Me Time and Trent Bridge Community Trust’s Forget Me Notts are partnering for a sponsored walk fundraiser around some of Nottingham’s most iconic sporting venues. Vicki, who attends Mencap, initiated this event as she wanted to raise funds for groups she is involved in through doing something exercised based to raise awareness of mental health, while also benefiting her local community by completing the task with her peers.

On 24th March 2023, supporters of these charities are going to be following Vicki from Portland Centre to Meadow Lane, City Ground, Trent Bridge and then to the Nottingham Ice Centre, before returning to Portland for a raffle and buffet. The sports clubs have kindly accepted the proposal to allow the group to walk around the perimeter of the pitches to give the participants an added exclusive experience. The total distance equates to 6.8 kilometres, which was chosen to represent the approximate number of 68 million people in the United Kingdom that live with some form of disability or health condition. The
6.8 km sponsored walk, led by Vicki will promote physical exercise, community, and peer-to-peer support. Vicki chose the sporting venues to be the main part of the charitable walk because she is a huge Nottingham Panthers and Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club and is a user of Notts County Foundation’s Portland Centre so felt that it would be great to include some of her real passions.
