Event: Liverpool Santa Dash, on 1 December 2024

Story

Here at Strawberry Field, we run Steps to Work, a fantastic programme which empowers young people with learning difficulties or other barriers to employment to reach their goals. Your sponsorship will help fund this highly successful programme.

Strawberry Field is a place to explore, unwind and dream in the place which inspired one of the 20th century's greatest songwriters. The iconic site, immortalised by John Lennon in The Beatles hit, Strawberry Fields Forever, is open to the public. Previously the site of a Salvation Army children's home where the young John Lennon played in the grounds, Strawberry Field now serves as a unique addition to Beatles tourism. The site is home to an interactive visitor exhibition, cafe, shop, calm garden spaces for spiritual reflection and - at its heart, Steps at Strawberry Field, a series of programmes aimed at those with learning difficulties or other barriers to employment.

This year "Team Strawbs" will be participating in the Liverpool Santa Dash on Sunday 1st December 2024 to raise money to support our incredible programme.
