Mayor’s Annual Charity Walk – Have you signed up for the big day out?

There is still time to sign up for this year’s Mayor’s annual charity walk of the Brighton & Hove Way, which takes place this Saturday, April 28.

ONLINE registration remains open until noon tomorrow, Friday, April 27, alternately you will can turn up and enter on the day (cash payment required).

The walk starts at 09:30 from Saltdean seafront, and will set off in the afternoon from Stanmer Park at 13:30. To join on the day please arrive in advance of these times.

While the route will be fully signed, volunteers are needed at a number of key points to help ensure none of the 100 plus walkers get lost. City Park rangers will get volunteers out to the remoter locations, and it’ll probably take only a couple of hours to direct all the walkers round the walk.

If you would like to help please email Fiona Gray: fiona.gray@riseuk.org.uk

The walk will be raising funds for the Mayor Mo Marsh’s Famous Five chosen charities: Albion in the Community, The Clock Tower Sanctuary, Martlets Hospice, RISE UK and The Sussex Heart Charity, Emmaus the homeless charity or any charity of your personal choice.

You can walk as much or as little of this stunning 19-mile downland pathway as you like – the route includes a section suitable for people with reduced mobility.

Starting on Saltdean seafront, experience the best of The Living Coast UN designated Biosphere while passing through Falmer, Stanmer and the Chattri, finishing in North Portslade, hopefully in time for tea hosted by Emmaus.

This family-friendly event aims to bringing together all our diverse communities. We encourage support for the named charities, however if you wish to benefit another favourite charity please select the “All Mayor’s Charities” option when registering. Adults £6, children free, dogs welcome on a short lead – follow this link to register.

This event is supported by Brighton & Hove Way Association, Emmaus Brighton, Healthwalks Brighton Hove and City Parks (Brighton & Hove City Council).
