We are four members of the Home-Start Cotswolds staff team - Katharine, Hann, Ivan and Karen.

We are excited (and we won’t lie, slightly apprehensive) to be taking on the Cotswolds Way Ultra Challenge on Saturday 13th June, to raise money for Home-Start Cotswolds, a charity we are so proud to work for.

Katharine and Ivan are attempting the longest of the routes, a massive 100km, which will mean walking through the day and night (head torches at the ready!). Hann and Karen will be walking the 50km route to Wotton-under-Edge, still a full day’s hike. We’ve been on a training walk together along the Cotswold Way and we were all in agreement - we can’t believe how hilly it is - it’s going to be a real challenge!

As a team we are passionate about the work we do and the families we support, which is why we are particularly proud to be taking on a challenge that takes us right through the beautiful communities we work in every day. If you’re able to support us, we promise that every contribution will count, making a real difference to the families we support. It will also keep us motivated climbing those hills!

Thank you,

Katharine, Hann, Karen and Ivan
