This morning, our Explorers set off on their sponsored expedition through the Malvern Hills!

Over the next two days, the group will walk approximately 20 miles to support their friend and fellow Explorer, Lily, who lives with lupus.

Lily has used her own experience to raise awareness of lupus and other hidden illnesses while raising vital funds for LUPUS UK. Her fellow Explorers are proudly walking alongside her to help make every mile count.

Please show Lily and the team your support by donating through our JustGiving page:

Every donation, no matter the amount, will help LUPUS UK support people affected by lupus, raise awareness and fund vital research. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this post would also make a real difference.

Good luck to Lily and the entire team—we’re incredibly proud of you all! 💜🥾⛰️

Tonight our explorers continued their community work by helping to clean up areas of Kings Heath including, Albert Road Park and parts of the High Street. A good amount of litter picked up off the streets this evening!

On 19th–20th September, Explorers from Kings Heath and Foresters will stand alongside Lily and walk approximately 20 miles through the Malvern Hills over two challenging days.

22 Explorers, canoes, chaos, and a brilliant evening on the water! 🚣‍♂️🌊

A huge thank you to Ackers Adventure for hosting Kings Heath ESU, Foresters ESU and St Anne's ESU for an awesome canoeing session last night. Plenty of laughs, teamwork, and new skills learnt along the way! 💪

Had some phenomenal work completed at the 96th Birmingham Scout Hut today by an AXA Birmingham Corporate Volunteer Day team. They have done some much needed and brilliant landscaping in our car park and garden as well as a complete renovation of our storage cupboards with brand new shelving being built and all of our equipment having a proper sort out.

Phenomenal work done and thank you very much for giving up some of your volunteering day allowance to support 96th Birmingham and Cole Valley South Scouts.
