I am involved with a local charity – Wellbeing in the Weald – which provides activities in and around Cranbrook to combat loneliness and promote wellbeing. Activities include a weekly drop-in, a book club, walking groups, a community allotment, a crafting group, a yoga class, a men’s wellbeing group and a youth club.

All activities are free but the charity costs over £30k a year to run, raised by fundraising and grants. This year has been a tough year, so on Sunday 23rd August I’m doing a 20-mile sponsored walk to raise funds.

I will be starting in Cranbrook and - in a figure of eight –walking to Benenden and back to Cranbrook (10 miles) and then out to Goudhurst and back to Cranbrook(10 miles).

I’m hoping to raise a much-needed £1,000 and any help you can give by sponsoring me would be great.
