The UNICEF steering group are excited to announce that we are going to walk over 11 miles on Friday 5 July to raise money for UNICEF! We are walking this far as some children in countries where UNICEF work, have to walk this distance every day to get to school.

We will be posting updates in the coming week. If you would like to sponsor the team, you can do by clicking in the Just Giving link below. All money raised goes directly to UNICEF.
