On Sunday 6 March a group of 26 Trantites and Toyeites, accompanied by members of their boarding house teams, will be walking a 16-mile section of the South Downs Way. The route will start at Old Winchester Hill and take us through some of southern England’s most beautiful countryside. Our peaceful walk will of course be in stark contrast to the dreadful events currently unfolding in Ukraine, which have left many of us despairing and feeling helpless.
In situations such as this, one of the few things we as individuals can do is to reach into our pockets and donate to those charities which have the ability to alleviate suffering in the areas affected, and there seems to be no charity better equipped to do this than the Red Cross. 

We hope that parents, relatives, fellow pupils and colleagues from across the Wykehamical community will encourage those walking by making a donation to this very worthwhile cause. Thank you to all those walking and / or donating for your support.
