Wylde Green Shopkeepers are going on a 5km Charity Walk to raise funds for two worthy causes, us, the 2nd Wylde Green Scout Group and the local branch of Macmillan Cancer Support.
This walk will be held on Sunday 20th September and will start from outside Raphael’s at 11.00 am.
The walkers will comprise of the Shopkeepers and many of their supporting customers and will be along Birmingham Road, then down Wylde Green Road as far as the open area off Maney Hill Road and then return back to the start.
Money is being gathered as donations through collection tins at most of the shops in Wylde Green and after completion of the walk, will be counted and then divided equally between the two nominated charities.
We plan to spend the money donated to our Group on the purchase of Hike Tents for participators in the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme.
Our principle involvement is in providing marshals for road crossings but also with knowledge of First Aid just in case this should this be required.
Full details of the walk and opportunities to involve and/or contribute are available from the individual Shopkeepers who are also the lead walkers.
