At James' Place, our mission is to stop men dying by suicide. Yet, in the UK suicide is still the single leading cause of death of men under 50. We believe that no man should face a suicidal crisis alone. James' Place provides free, professional therapy for men in suicidal crisis to help them find hope for the future.

We're remembering Tom and all other loved ones who we've lost on this walk.

Elite Pubs is so excited to be holding our first ever charity dog walk in aid of James’ Place!

This walk is in the ‘easy’ category however, there will be aspects of the walk that require manoeuvring over short public footpath fences as well as walking on different terrain with potentially long grass. Suitable footwear is advised. People of all ages encouraged! Prams are not advised.

Dogs will need to be kept on leads as there is some road walking and live stock may be present along the walk. Please note that if the weather is set to be above 22 degrees on the day, the walk will be cancelled and rescheduled – the welfare of the dogs is our priority. If the weather is above 20 degrees, we will shorten our walk. If, on the day, you’re concerned about your dog’s welfare – please alert a member of staff.

We require all dogs to be up to date with their vaccinations. If you have a reactive dog, please email our team at eventstribe@elitepubs.com to make us aware.

We suggest a minimum of a £5 donation to James’ Place to take part in the walk but please be as generous as you can! 🙂 Donate below
