It's become a bit of a tradition here At Stocksigns that every year we take on a new challenge for a different charity, including RoSPA, St Catherine's Hospice and The Lucy Rayner Foundation. 

We are delighted to say that we are back with another charity challenge for this year with bigger and better dreams of raising £5,000 for The Children's Trust. 

We originally had a target of £3,500, but The Children's Trust, like many charities during the pandemic, has really taken a hit to their donations, so we'd love to help them out as much as possible. 

The essential funds will mean the world to the staff, the children, and their families, so we hope you can help us.

Welcome… to The Jurassic Coast!

Captain Cload has dug out his map and put on his hiker hat and planned our next expedition! (knowing Captain Cload it will be no walk in the park!)

Over two days we are aiming to hike Dorset's Jurassic Coast! 75 km and 9,000ft of elevation will make it one of our toughest challenges to date! In past challenges, we have had the luxury of staying in hostels where we had a bed to rest our aching bodies and a warm welcoming shower to wake us up in the morning. This year to add to the challenge we will be camping. I might be crying whilst camping!

Our chosen charity for this year is The Children's Trust. The Children’s Trust is the UK's leading charity for children with brain injury. The Trust runs a range of specialist care, education and therapy services for children and young people from across the UK. It includes the UK's largest rehabilitation centre for children with acquired brain injury (ABI) and is based at Tadworth Court.

Now it's time for Team Stocksigns and friends, to dust off those hiking boots, get to the pharmacy, and stock up on Compeed, and add energy bars to the weekly shop as our Walk and Talk Wednesdays are back!

Bring on the blisters and the bants, it's time for some new Kings and Queens of the mountains on those Strava segments.
