🚶‍♂️ Peter's Big Walk – Thank You! 🚶‍♂️

What a day! Yesterday Peter and 5 fellow walkers set off at 8am sharp from Cranbrook to Goudhurst and back, then on to Sissinghurst Castle and Benenden before returning by 4.30pm, 8 hours of walking in glorious sunshine, great views, and even better company.

And the results? Incredible. £1,700 raised so far (plus Gift Aid), and with our brilliant fellow walkers also fundraising, the total now stands at an almost an amazing £4000 🎉

Every penny will help us keep vital services running, including our youth club.

Thank you to everyone who donated, walked, or cheered us on. We couldn't do this without you. 💚

20 miles for our community 💚

As Chairman and Treasurer of Wellbeing in the Weald, Peter sees first-hand the difference our charity makes to people across Cranbrook and the surrounding villages.

That's why on Sunday 23rd August he's taking on a 20-mile sponsored walk to help keep our activities running.

Every week, your support helps us provide free activities that bring people together and promote wellbeing, including our community drop-in, walking groups, book club, youth club, men's wellbeing group, yoga, crafting sessions and community allotment.

If you're able to support Peter's challenge, we'd be incredibly grateful. Every pound helps us continue providing these vital services for our community.

Starting in Cranbrook, Peter will walk a figure-of-eight route to Benenden and back, before heading out to Goudhurst and returning to Cranbrook – all in the hope of raising £1,000 for Wellbeing in the Weald.

With annual running costs of more than £30,000, every donation really does make a difference.

Come and join us every Wednesday from 2.00pm to 3.30pm for our friendly community drop-in at St Dunstan's Church, Cranbrook.

It's a chance to slow down, enjoy a cup of tea and a slice of cake, have a chat, and spend time with others in a welcoming, supportive space.

Bringing little ones? We have a dedicated toddler play area, so they can enjoy themselves while you relax with a hot drink and good company.

Whether you're new to the area or simply looking to meet new people, you'll always receive a warm welcome. We look forward to seeing you.

It was wonderful to see so many people stop by our stall at Cranbrook on the Green on Sunday.
We always enjoy catching up with members of our community, sharing what we do, and getting to know new faces. Our tombola proved to be a real hit too and we sold out of our apple and pear juice. Thank you to everyone who came along, had a chat, and took part. We hope to see you again soon!

We can't wait to see you at Cranbrook on the Green this Sunday, 26th July. 🌞

Come and say hello to our volunteers who will be running the Tombola stall again this year and find out about our activities and other events.
