Ann Walker (1803-1854) has inspired so many of us and her story continues to be uncovered. In her will, she left a legacy of £10 to be distributed at Christmas. This was given out from the 1860’s until the 1970’s. We will be continuing to hear her voice and honour her legacy this year by fundraising for the Brighouse Foodbank. This is a chance to give back to something she held dear and keep her memory alive.

Ann's uncle, William Walker who died in 1809, had left the same legacy but it was unable to be continued so Ann added it to her will - that amount is worth approximately £1133 today but we starting with £500 goal as we know things are tight this year. 

In the spirit of the Walkers’ bequests and in Ann Walker’s name we are raising money for the Brighouse Foodbank until Christmas Eve in order to honour her legacy. This foodbank is about 2.5 miles from Cliffe Hill, Ann Walker’s last residence. You can donate directly here, all funds go directly to the foodbank.
