Food and Sport for All - Hadrian's Wall Hike (2500) raising Funds for Arctic One and The Trussell Trust.

On 4th December 2023 I plan to walk 135 km from Bowness-on-Sea to Wallsend following the Hadrian's Wall path to raise funds for Arctic One and Funds and Food for the Trussell Trust.

The walk is self funded and all monies raised will go to the Charities. My aim is to raise £3000 and collect 3000 items of food.

There will be a number of ways you can get involved including your own Walking Challenge, Artwork Raffle and Auctions. More details will follow.

I will be raffling three pieces of art work 'Tickets are £2 and the draw will take place at 10pm on Christmas Eve. You can purchase a ticket by donating or via paypal matt.kirby@btinternet.com and I can put the money on the pages.

Arctic One

The Arctic One Foundation is a small charity that aims to provide opportunities for people with disabilities to get involved in sport through their events, training days and Grants. 100% of any donations made will be put towards the Grants system. More details can be found on our website: www.arctic1.co.uk

The Arctic One Grant System started in 2014 and to-date we have provided over 250 Grants to Individuals, Groups and Clubs representing 32 different sports. Every pound of your donation will go on to support our Grant System.

The Trussell Trust

Trussell Trust who support over 1200 Foodbanks in Britain including one near you! The demand is staggering!

A lot of individuals, OAP’s and Children will actually go hungry over the Christmas period which I find personally difficult to comprehend how this is possible!

As part of the Project I will collecting items of Food Tins (My target is 5000 items ). Not to be confused with empty aluminium Cans this is for unopened labelled in date tins of food or other items that will be distributed to those in need either direct or via The One Can Trust in High Wycombe and the local Food Banks. Full details will be provided.

I hope to raise £3000 if possible as well as collect 3000 items of Food. Its a huge target to be honest! I think I can deliver!
