Story
The Thames Valley region are soon to be taking part in the
Vistry Voyage on 12th October to help raise funds for
Papyrus.
The Vistry Voyage will see a ‘book of awareness’, signed
by members of staff who have been impacted suicide in some way in their lives - be it through friends, family, colleagues or someone in their community – or who simply wish to pledge their support to raising awareness, transported across the country, passing through all business units without the use of motorised transport in the run up to World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10th. The Voyage will run from 5th September to the 2nd November with each business unit being given set days to complete their leg of the journey.
The Thames Valley region have a group of cyclists and walkers
who have agreed to take part in their leg of the journey from Marlborough (in Wiltshire) right the way through to Windsor Castle (in Berkshire) and are hoping to finish the journey within the time allocated (10am-4.30pm).
We hope you will join us in supporting the team taking part
in this huge challenge and continue to support us in our fundraising for a great cause.
Many thanks
Thames Valley region
